Descrição:

The Kanagawa Treaty, also known as the Treaty of Peace and Amity, was signed on March 31, 1854, between the United States and Japan at Kanagawa, under the threat of force by U.S. Commodore Matthew Perry. This landmark agreement effectively ended Japan's 220-year-old policy of national seclusion by opening up two ports to American ships, setting the stage for increased trade and Western influence in Japan.
