Commodore Perry opened Japan to a US trade treaty in 1854! Of course he showed up with Big Guns-a not too subtle threat.

Wonder what Trump and the drug companies are threatening? Disbanding NATO?

Displaying his audacity and readiness to use force, Perry’s approach into the forbidden waters around Tokyo convinced the Japanese authorities to accept the letter.

The following spring, Perry returned with an even larger squadron to receive Japan’s answer. The Japanese grudgingly agreed to Perry’s demands, and the two sides signed the Treaty of Kanagawa on March 31, 1854.
