Describe the pressures Japan was under to "open-­‐up" in the late 19th century. Why did the Japanese decide to open up?

They decided to open up so that they could modernize since the western world had developed useful technology for agriculture and warfare. They wanted to improve conditions so they started trading with European forces again after 200 years. The pressure existed out of fear of being conquered by forces with vastly superior warfare technology.
