Between the early 1600s and 1853, Japan were

effectively closed to foreingers, except for trading

with the dutch and Chinese in Nagasaki. During

this time, in 1844, 45 and 46 the British and

French sent warship to try to force the Japan-

ese to start trading relation. The Japanese began

to guard the coastline. Finally the Americans

forced Japan to open for trading. This is ironicall

because now United States is complaining

that Japan is too agressive as a trading partner.
