Answer: US forced the opening of Japan by signing the treaty of Kanagawa, a factor that influenced the acceleration of the disintegration of the feudal system.
Japan only opened its economy to the west after a long Meiji dynasty, in which it took measures for the industrialization and modernization of the country, such as the creation of infrastructure, such as railroads and ports, and the installation of production goods.
Hoover's response to the Great Depression was the Smoot-Hawley tariff which rose tariffs on over 20,000 products. This measure led to retaliation from foreign countries especially from Europe and they rose their own tariffs on their American imports, the American economy was hit back and it explains why Hoover's policy failed.
Hoover was nicknamed "Do nothing" by the Democrats, they blamed him for sticking to Laissez faire economics, but this accusation was wrong as he pushed for more state intervention which eventually failed.
