		Matthew Calbraith Perry was born on April 10, 1794, and by 1809 he was already serving as midshipman on the USS Revenge under the command of one of his stupid brothers.
		Also Perry loved modernization to the point that people call him "The Father of the Steam Navy" and he oversaw the construction of the USS Fulton, the navy's second steam ship, but all of this occurred before he was named Commodore so I don't know why I put it afterwards.
		Perry was sick and fucking tired of Japan being a bunch of fags about not letting people trade with them so in 1852 he took off from Norfolk, Virginia to do something about it.

		Perry arrived in the U.S. in the middle of January, 1855 to much congratulations and, perhaps, over-optimistic celebration of the new trading partner.
		It should be noted that even before Perry's first appearance, the Japanese who had favored opening the door to the outside world had grown almost as influential in the capital as the reactionaries who clung to the old ways.
		Perry first stopped at the Ryukyu or Loochoo ("Lew Chews") Islands since they were a dependency of Japan and Perry might get a hint there of how he would be received on the mainland.
