Sagot :

The correct order in which the above happened from the earliest event is:

  • A Portuguese ship on its way to China was blown off course and landed in Japan.
  • The arrival of European traders and Christian missionaries which led to a fear of European conquest.
  • U.S. naval officer Matthew C. Perry sailed to Japan with four warships and pressured Japan to end their period of isolation.
  • Japan recognized that European countries were powerful and became an industrial and military power by the mid-1900s.

Chronology of the above events

In 1543, the Portuguese got to Japan in error when they were blown off course by a typhoon. This allowed them to set up a trading station there and missionaries came as well which worried the Japanese.

This fear led to the Japanese reinforcing their isolationist policies until Matthew Perry arrived with a U.S. fleet and pressured the Japanese into trade concessions. Japan was impressed by the U.S. and Europeans and strove to become as strong as them.

In conclusion, Japan went through several stages to get to its current state.
