Today is the anniversary of a really big fracas in Japan that determined the course of events for several hundred years.

Bonus geek history points to the first person who correctly identifies the fracas.

Wasn't it that law that forbade foreigners to enter Japan?

Ended with the landing of Admiral...uhhmmm...Pershing, was it?

That follows this particular event. You are speaking of Commadore Perry and the Black Ships.
