There were lots of cannons and gun fortifications on my journey today. At some point, Japan signed a treaty to open up the place for trade. The local samurai decided they didnt like this version of the trans pacific partnership. So they installed guns and sunk the ships of foreign traders. France the UK and the USA all sent ships to bomb the place for a year or so. I think this was whenever the American civil war was.
