William Perry's attempt at trade relations with Japan

Opret din egen! Kopi

Japan "shut the door" on trade with their Closed Door Policy...
Commodore Matthew Perry, an expansionist, began to wonder and fear for the future of America and its place in the markets. The British were eating up an increasing part of the international markets, as well as performing their own exercises in expansion. In 1852, he voiced his concerns to President Fillmore.
I'm worried about the future of our country, not only within the market but also with the looming threat of expansionism and Britain gaining power.
Hmmm...
In 1853, President Fillmore gave Perry authorization to open negotiations with the emperor of Japan. Perry sailed to Edo Bay with an important communication from the U.S, demanding to speak with someone of equal "standard" to him. He was told to go to a different part of Japan, to which he refused and warned that he felt his country had been disrespected which he wouldn't be held responsible for, implying a threat. Many history books still say Perry "convinced" the emperor to open up trade.
I have an important message from the United States that I will only trust with someone of familiar stature of myself.
No. I feel as if my country has been greatly disrespected, and I will not be held accountable for the consequences.
No, we won't take it here. You have to take it to Nagasaki.
