An Isolated Nation• Early on, the Tokugawas felt threatened by the growing
number of westerners who were arriving in Japan.– Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, English– Catholic missionaries had success in converting people, which
angered the shogun.• Early 1600s: Japanese government began persecuting foreign
missionaries and Japanese Christians.• 1639: Japan was closed to the world.
– Foreigners were forbidden from entering the country.– Japanese who left couldn’t return.– Outlawed the building of ocean-going ships.– Exceptions: Some contact with China, Korea, and the Dutch.
• Isolation lasted for more than 200 years.
