Matthew Perry forced Japan into changing the way they saw the world. He changed the way they saw the world not only economicaly but politicaly too. Matthew Perry also "bullied" Japan into signing the treaty of Kanagawa because the United States needed suplies whenever U.S. ships were out of supplies such as food, water, and coal. The Japanesse were impressed at the ships Matthew Perry brought, because they were steam powered ships and they had cannons. The Japanesse economy changed after Japan became industrialized. Their mass production had changed the way Japanesse worked, Japan had also modernized by having statesman go to learn about government in other countries. The Japanesse took the idea of constitution and made their own. Japan is a Archpelago which means that its a chain of islands. Japan are many islands that form one country.
