  Japan's modern international history began in 1858 with the signing of the unequal commercial treaty with the United States. Over the next fifteen years, Japanese diplomacy was reshaped to respond to the Western imperialist challenge. This book explains the emergence of modern Japan through this early period of treaty relations.
