Question

Why did the Dutch primarily trade from Nagasaki?

A. Japan's ruler did not allow them to conduct business anywhere else.
B. Nagasaki was considered the best place for commerce in Japan.
C. The Dutch admired the samurai warriors of Nagasaki.
D. They wanted to be as close as possible to the powerful shogun.

Answer 1

I believe the answer is A) Japan's ruler did not allow them to conduct business anywhere else.

Just took the test and B) is wrong for sure.

Step-by-step explanation:

the pf text book says: " Apart from the Dutch, who were allowed only on the small island of Deshima in Nagasaki, the only foreign trade was with the Koreans and Chinese."

I would assume the word "allowed" means that the Japanese ruler at the time only allowed them to do commerce there.

Answer 2

A. A. Japan's ruler did not allow them to conduct business anywhere else.
