the meiji restoration of japan

Matthew Perry went to japan so many other ships who have to pass through japan can make a rest stop. At this point japan was an isolated country because they think there method of life is better than any one else's. japan was impressed and interested in the boat's Perry brought through because they were steam powered ships with cannons. After that japan became more industrialized. Japan modernized by having other men go to other countries such as Europe and north america and learn the views of life and how they study. This changed the japanese government because after this took the idea of a constitution and made their own.
