Question

When Japan opened its borders to trade with the United States in 1854:

	there were no gains from trade for the United States.
	the prices of Japanese exports to the United States rose.
	the terms of trade for Japan deteriorated.
	the prices of Japanese imports from the United States rose.

Answer 1

After giving Japan time to consider the establishment of external relations, Perry returned to Tokyo in March 1854, and on March 31 signed the Treaty of Kanagawa, which opened Japan to trade with the United States, and thus the West. In April 1860, the first Japanese diplomats to visit a foreign power reached Washington, D.C., and remained in the U.S. capital for several weeks discussing expansion of trade with the United States.

At that time Japanese exports to the United States rose.
