The way that Comomdore Matthew Perry "Bullied" the Japanese into signing a trade treaty, is when they came into the coast of Edo(Japan), showing them ships that had no sails. The Japanese were surprised by their technology. They started intimidating them. As the Japanese looked at their warships, they realized that their ships won't have a chance, so they had no options but to give them their wishes.
On March 31, 1854, A treaty was signed which opened two ports for the Americans to come in for trades.During the Meiji Era, the country of Japan realized that their country is very weak because they don't have the technology that other countries have. The decided to collect and look at some technology from other countries and try to increase their miltary strength. I would say that they are trying to catch up to others so nobody would think that they are easy to invade.
After Japans Emperor died, they had good transportation and communication put in , good and free education, etc. Thanks to the Emperor, Japan is up to date. Japan knows how other countries work, their culture, etc. The have the technology they needed to catch up, etc. Japan won't be struggling anymore.

Karl Marx and Communism
the idea that Karl Marx he was thinking of communist was that everyone were equal. He wants the workers to work and take a break at the same time, that they have equal money, that the have equal rights and that they be treated fair and equally, etc. Karl Marx wanted Communism to take over the world because his communist wanted to treat workers fairly but he didn't like landowners to treat them nothing, to not be fair, etc. For other countries, they didn't want to do the same thing that Marx was doing.
The "Good Guys" that Karl Marx thinks is the factory workers he sees in factories that are in nervous breakdown and other problems. The "Bad Guys" that Marx thinks are the landowners that run the factories and getting rich on their own, not caring or helping the workers that work for them. This is why he made communism for the workers.
Communism is something that people are treated fair and that the have common things that they want. People wants to be treated firly when they work. But there are some places that people dont want to be in or want to work in the area in the owners is not gonna be good or fair to them. In todays world, there is still communism around the world, waiting to live in a good life with fairness.

Karl Marx and the Industrial Revolution
When Karl Marx looked at the factories at where people were working, he realized that most of them were tired and were getting sick. Those who were sick were not treated or told to rest for anything. Marx didn't like how the Industrial Revolution was going because many people were tired, many were not in good health, they received no payment, some were having a nervous breakdown, etc.
Marx had to do something to help the workers, so he created communism. He talked to all of the workers that they should control factories and farms instead of landlords. Like the " Enlightment", people had the power to choose whatn they want to have in the economy. Karl Marx told "the workers of the world to unite" to a worldwide revolution. The workers were inspired to join him on in the Revolution.
The way that Karl Marx was inspired to do the Revolution was that the way how he saw the workers were treated. There were kids that were 18 yrs. or under working, women, men, etc. They had no breaks and they had no vacations or days off to take. They never earned any money to use to buy food or clothes to wear and eat. After Marx saw enough, he had to step up and do something.
