Why did president fillmore send commodore perry to japan in 1853 and 1854

to negotiate a treaty

Explanation:

Although the United States began its industrialization process after Europe, it became a major power with a large productive scale thanks to its size. To continue advancing on Pacific markets, US President Millard Fillmore sent Commodore Matthew C. Perry to force a trade treaty with Japan.

At that time, American whaling ships operating in the Pacific were trying to approach Japanese ports for supplies.

However, the Japanese resisted meeting the needs of the crew. The commodore's mission was to dissuade the rulers of Japan from opening their ports and markets to the US.
