Which country's isolation did Perry help to end?
China
Korea
Japan
India
Answer
Japan's isolation came to an end primarily due to the arrival of Commodore Matthew Perry and his fleet of ships in 1853. Perry's mission, known as the Perry Expedition, was a decisive moment in Japanese history as it forced the nation to open its ports to foreign trade and diplomatic relations, effectively ending the country's longstanding policy of isolation known as Sakoku.
