Under the rule of the Tokugawa shoguns, Japan had been isolated from any contact outside the country. Beginning in the mid-1800s, western powers attempted to open trade with Japan. In 1853, US Commodore Matthew Perry forcibly opened trade with Japan through the Treaty of Kanagawa. Soon thereafter, other Western powers also obtained trading rights with Japan.

Japanese citizens were angered by the foreign involvement in their country. The shogun stepped down from power, allowing the imperial family to take control of the country and ending the military dictatorships that had controlled Japan since the 12th century.

In Okinawa, Perry and his entourage paused by the imposing “Gate of Courtesy” in Naha...

These first encounters were not without tense moments. The Japanese, after all, had lived under a policy of strict seclusion for more than 200 years.

The Commodore went ashore with great pomp and ceremony to present his demands to the Shogun’s officials, who had gathered onshore near the then little town of Yokohama.

In 1876, Japan forced trade with Korea. China had similar trading interests, and in an attempt to prevent conflict, China and Japan pledged not to send their armies into Korea.

BUT

In 1894, China did send troops into Korea to help quell rebellions occurring there.

Japan protested this move and declared war on China. During the course of the Sino- Japanese War, Japan destroyed the Chinese navy, cleared Korea of Chinese occupation, and gained a foothold in Manchuria.

Map of Sino-Japanese War

Meiji Japan’s “Westernization” culminated in a titanic war against Tsarist Russia that stunned the world and established Japan as a major imperialist power with a firm foothold on the Asian mainland.

Following the Sino-Japanese War, Russia and Japan were the two strongest powers of East Asia, and both desired control of Manchuria. Japan initially offered a compromise, agreeing to recognize Russian rights to Manchuria in exchange for Japanese rights to Korea, but this offer was refused. In 1904, Japan attacked Russia, beginning the Russo-Japanese War.

Japan again destroyed much of Russia’s naval powers, and also drove Russia out of Korea. The war ended in defeat for Russia in Following the Russian defeat, Japan made Korea a protectorate, eventually annexing the country and was recognized as a world power. It would continue this course of action well into the 20th century in both world wars.
