Didnt the Americans show up with two battleships and force them to trade in the 19th century?

Britannica gave up the ghost on this lost history from middle school which I vaguely remember, it was Commodore M.C. Perry

Matthew C. Perry, in full Matthew Calbraith Perry, (born April 10, 1794, South Kingston, R.I., U.S.died March 4, 1858, New York City), U.S. naval officer who headed an expedition that forced Japan in 185354 to enter into trade and diplomatic relations with the West after more than two centuries of isolation. Through his efforts the United States became an equal power with Britain, France, and Russia in the economic exploitation of East Asia.

Interesting tidbit there. Also, did you get suspended or something and just make a new account?

Hell, the Nordic people (think Vikings) did the same thing, and actually folded even more than the Japanese did. At least until they could trade or loot better metals.

Really?
Where did you hear that?

The Danes, maybe, since that's more sand and dirt deposited by currents than anything else.

Okay, not quite accurate, but they DID use pattern welding. Which is very similar to what the Japanese did. But they outgrew it as they found more sources of steel.

Not sure what this is talking about, but the US is not the largest trading partner for Japan, it's China.
