Why did japan decide to make a deal with matthew perry as opposed to fight the us? a. japan was in debt and needed the money from the deal. c. u. s. had a small fleet in the harbor so japan took that a sign of good faith. b. u. s. had too many warships in the harbor so japan decided to make a deal instead of fighting. d. u. s. did not send any military to japan so japan thought they could control the us.

The correct answer is: the US had too many warships in the harbor so Japan decided to make a deal instead of fighting.

Commodore Matthew Perry sailed into Tokyo harbor and claimed a treaty to concede trade as the US was pursuing its goal of opening new markets. The Japanese had no way to defend themselves so they agreed.
