- Foreigners in Japan, like in China, were subject to the laws of their own countries rather than Japanese laws.
- This created a situation where foreign nationals were essentially immune to Japanese law, leading to a sense of injustice among the Japanese people.
Unequal Tariffs:
- Japan, similar to China, had to agree to low tariffs on imported goods from the Western powers.
- This placed Japanese industries at a disadvantage and hindered their growth and development.
Concessions:
- The Treaty of Kanagawa, like the treaties signed by China, granted the United States extraterritorial rights and control over the port of Yokohama.
- This gave the United States significant influence in Japan and limited Japan's sovereignty over its own territory.
