Product Description:
Did you know that up until 1853, Japan was an isolated country, refusing to trade or even converse with other countries, with a feudal style of government? This book takes students through the story of how an American Commodore, Matthew Perry, arrives in Japan and attempts to peacefully open trade negotiations. Learn all about the struggles he faced in trying to negotiate trade relations and bring Japan into modern civilization. ~ Megan
