The 1st time of american invasion into Japan

[ASIAN Hero]

I want to know the year of the 1st time american invasion into Japan, it is not the one happened on 1945 but long before that. It is the time that Japan still a closed country.

Although I wouldn't characterize it as an "invasion", I believe you are referring to Perry's first visit to Japan in 1853. Here is the Wiki article about Perry.

I don't believe in wiki since anyone can write anything they want on it, could you show me a link directly come from Japanese sites since it will guve more insurance that is was writen by Japanese themselves. I have been looking but still not found it yet.

This is brief, but I hope it suffices. I'm afraid there is no english translation available.

While it is good to verify some of the information on Wiki, it is fairly well known now, that the screening process as been greatly improved, compared to even two years ago. When using it you have to watch for the flags and notices.

That said, however, most of the major entries are peer-reviewed, are well known in academic circles, and are trustworthy to the degree that general human knowledge on the subject is.

I would like to invite you, ASIAN Hero san, to give more room for checking out as many sources as possible--including, yes, Wiki too. Why be one sided?

However,
When I consider relation with U.S.A. before the first visit of Perry to Japan in 1853,
You should know the history of Ogasawara Islands.
Declaration of Japanese dominium of Ogasawara Islands,
Postwar American occupation,
About return to Japan,

Yeah, but, just so you know, it wasn't an invasion. Technically, 1945 wasn't an invasion, either, unless you consider Okinawa and Iwo Jima. An invasion is when an army aggressively moves into your territory without your consent. Perry didn't invade, he just sailed up with guns and said, "We want to trade... now." And the Allied forces in 1945 weren't exactly welcomed, but their occupation was not an invasion, it was part of the terms of the peace settlement that had been agreed upon.

Germany, on the other hand, was most definitely invaded by Allied forces during the Second World War, as was Italy.

And the same applys to Poland, Russia, and the Channel Islands, who were invaded by German forces during WWII.
