The United States was afraid there were more Japanese spies plotting another attack. More than 110,000 Japanese families were forced to relocate into internment camps for national security reasons. Japanese Americans serving in the U.S military were more suspicious than others. Living conditions in the camps were very harsh and barbarous. The housing, food, and living conditions were outrageous.
Pearl Harbor Address December 8th, 1941 President Franklin Delano Roosevelt attempted to incite action into a nation of troubled Americans after a sudden Japanese onslaught. In his address to congress given the day after the Japanese bombings was a request for a declaration of war upon Japan. Roosevelt created a speech that was dramatic, sufficient, and to the point therefore, understandable to the nation of worried Americans.

Rashaun Wright Pearl Harbor was in Hawaii and it was bombed in a surprise attack. Japan bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. No one knew why Japan bombed Pearl Harbor so the question is why Japan bomb Pearl Harbor. There are at least two reasons why the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. These were Japan needed oil, and they were trying to take over the world.
Since Japan did the bombing in Pearl Harbor, many Americans believed that Japanese Americans could not be trusted. Japanese fought because there was “A Tremendous Hole” in the Constitution and they would not tolerate being treated as less than a citizen. By the end of the war in Europe, the soldiers in 442nd, consisting most of Japanese Americans, were told by President Truman “you fought for the free nations of the world…you fought not only the enemy, you fought prejudice-and you won” (Takaki 349). Yet discrimination still existed. African Americans found themselves being targeted by hate crimes and violence.
It was this point that caused much of the contention and caused his wife to continue her crusade to have her husband freed from life imprisonment on Devil’s Island. One of the main issues of contention is that the press was freed from censorship, which caused the press to exaggerate the initial story. It should also be noted that many of the news publication had anti Semitic feelings and were using the fact that Dreyfus was Jewish to bolster the anti Semitic agenda. Edouard Drumont used his publication La Libre Parole to pressure the army and hasten the trial of Dreyfus . It is clear that the press was using the Dreyfus trial to their advantage by circulating false information to get support and profit from the rapid selling of newspapers.
This included the argument that it could be used specifically for targeting a military objective such as a collection of factories and that the civilians around the target area should be warned before its use. More so, some stressed that any warning of the weapons usage would undermine the U.S. position if the weapon eventually failed to work. More than 55,000 Americans had already died fighting the Japanese in the Pacific. This plan was predicated on modifying the call for unconditional surrender by Japan. Both Secretary of War Stimson and Acting Secretary of State Grew felt that this was an essential policy because of the dedication and fanaticism of the Japanese people towards the Emperor Hirohito, whom the Japanese believed to be a deity.
He did not see how it was morally right to get involved with Europe’s war when the war first broke out. The Central powers proved him wrong. Germany did not believe in restricted war zones and that started to affect the lives of the US citizens. As William Jennings Bryan states “now can we complain, if in confusion one of our boats is sunk by mistake?” German U-boats had attacked American ships because the American ships had entered areas of war. Americans were warned by Germany though just chose to ignore their warning.
The Americans had grown to a similar willingness as the battles progress. What could possibly cause this willingness to die before surrender? The Japanese soldiers had been given a propaganda pamphlet called Read this and The War is Won, which was written in a way that was meant to instill a hatred for Americans and Western society. Similarly the Americans were showed a series of films, one of which is titled Know your Enemy- Japan. The film shown to the Americans is also meant to instill hatred for the Japanese, and to fan the fire that was sparked when they Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor.
