Explanation

The Treaty of Kanagawa in 1854 opened two Japanese ports to American ships and established friendly relations between the United States and Japan. It did not end a war, give the United States control of Japanese territory, or restrict Japan’s ports to only certain nations. The correct choices are “Japan opened trade with the United States” and “Japan established friendly diplomatic relations with the US.”
