The United States gained trading rights with Japan in 1858 as a result of the efforts of "the American consul sent to Japan after the Treaty of

French philosopher Rene Descartes wrote the phrase "I think, therefore I am," which first appeared in French in his work The Discourse on Method. It also appears in Latin as the phrase "Cogito ergo sum" in Meditations on First Philosophy. ((Which was also one of his works.)) Hope this helped!
