When: March 31, 1854

What: In Tokyo, Commodore Matthew Perry, representing the U.S. government, signed the Treaty of Kanagawa with the Japanese government

Why significant: Up till 1870, Japanese officials refused to speak with Perry, but eventually they accepted letters from U.S. President Millard Fillmore, making the U.S. the first Western nation to establish relations with Japan since it was declared closed to foreigners in 1683.

The Treaty of Kanagawa opened the ports of Shimoda and Hakodate to American trade and permitting the establishment of a U.S. consulate in Japan.
