Who was Commodore Matthew Perry? Why did he come to Japan in 1853?

HELP
Who was Commodore Matthew Perry? Why did he come to Japan in 1853?
A Naval officer for the U.S. who forced open trade with Japan. It is said that they admired our navy so much upon his visit that they built their own great navy to match. And then they used it against us in WWII. Ironic.
