    The correct answer is: the US had too many warships in the harbor so Japan decided to make a deal instead of fighting.

    Commodore Matthew Perry sailed into Tokyo harbor and claimed a treaty to concede trade as the US was pursuing its goal of opening new markets. The Japanese had no way to defend themselves so they agreed.
