Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry von der United States Navy war eine Schlüsselfigur der Seefahrtsgeschichte, der vor allem für seine maßgebliche Rolle bei der Öffnung Japans für den Westen bekannt ist. Seine umfangreiche Militärkarriere umfasste den Dienst in bedeutenden Konflikten, darunter der Mexikanisch-Amerikanische Krieg und der Krieg von 1812. Perrys entschlossene Handlungen und diplomatischen Bemühungen bei der Konvention von Kanagawa prägten die internationalen Beziehungen nachhaltig und leiteten eine neue Ära ein.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
