US and Japan sign Kanagwa Treaty

On March 31, 1854, US Commodore Matthew Perry and representatives of the Japanese government signed the Convention of Kanagawa. The terms of the treaty marked the end of Japan's 500 years of self-imposed isolation by opening the Ports of Shimoda and Hakodate. Four years later, Japanese-American relations were further expanded by the Treaty of Amity and Commerce (Harris Treaty), which opened more Japanese ports to US trade and set up a system of extraterritoriality for Americans in Japan.

Spanish royal decree ordered expulsion of Jews

On March 31, 1492, King Ferdinand of Spain signed a decree expelling Jews from his kingdom. Read a contemporary account of the expulsion, originally written in Hebrew by an Italian Jew in 1495.
