Answer:

true

Step-by-step explanation:

Because Perry, on behalf of the U.S. government, forced Japan to enter into trade with the United States and demanded a treaty permitting trade and the opening of Japanese ports to U.S. merchant ships. That was in 1853. And major production and export of cotton and silk yarn ensured Japan achieved an industrial revolution in light industry in the late nineteenth century. Less than 30 years after the Meiji Restoration in 1868, the country had established a capitalist economy in 1868
