Question 14 • World History

Which is a true statement about the Treaty of Kanagawa?

Answer
A
It was an unequal treaty that favored Japan.
B
It was an unequal treaty that favored the US.
C
It was a treaty that Japan was happy with.
D
It was a treaty that was fair to both sides.

Explanation

The Treaty of Kanagawa, signed in 1854, opened Japanese ports to American ships and provided protections and assistance for American sailors. Japan made these concessions under pressure from the United States, without gaining comparable benefits in return. It is therefore described as an unequal treaty that favored the US, rather than Japan.
