Why did Japan decide to make a deal with Matthew Perry as opposed to fight the US? a.
Japan was in debt and needed the money from the deal.
c.
U. S. had a small fleet in the harbor so Japan took that a sign of good faith.
b.
U. S. had too many warships in the harbor so Japan decided to make a deal instead of fighting.
d.
U. S. did not send any military to Japan so Japan thought they could control the US.
