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.
Jewl Duran Hist 136 11/7/10 Japanese American Internment The Japanese American internment was ingrained anti-Asian racism, nativist and economic pressures from groups in California that had long wanted the Japanese gone, and the panic of wartime hysteria. The decisions to relocate and detain Japanese Americans were race prejudice, war hysteria, and a failure of political leadership. Ultimately, 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry: including tens of thousands of U.S. citizens were taken from their homes without charges or hearings, were excluded from the entire coastal region, and detained in desolate camps for years after any threat of a Japanese assault on the U.S. mainland had evaporated. The financial costs to Japanese Americans
In the end, the offensive cost Britain and the Empire 419,654 casualties, 125,000 of them dead. One other failure was just the staggering amounts of dead bodies from the British in a single day was just unbelievable! The British, instead of ordering a retreat, they just ran into the lines of machine guns, snipers and to sum it all up, they ran to their deaths with the Germans barely losing anyone at all. The British had no clue what they were doing unlike the French who did but they had no support whatsoever. Then, this is the biggest failure of them all according to me.
I mean really tell me that even though they were the same color, White or Caucasian, they still were not good enough. They were not accepted for who they were, they were treated worse than an animal in the street. I think back to September 11, and how cruel that was in my time, I remember sitting on my living room sofa and seeing the 2nd plane enter the twin tower and my heart sank. That’s the same way I felt during the research of the Holocaust. We have crossed a many of hurdles and seas, still have many to cross but I’m glad to know that America has made
Their suspicious ties to japan caused the justice department to put them in desolated areas throughout the Unites States. “These were grim forerunners of the assembly centers and concentration camps for the 120, 0000 japanese American evacuees that ere to come later.” (Hongo, 10) the four years that the Japanese americans endured such cruel discrimination, never was talkied about. “Japanese Americans were busy trying to forget it ever happened and were having a hard enough time building their new lives after “camp”.” (Hongo, 13) While Hongo attended junior high school, he noticed the difficulties amongst his classmates of talking about the relocation of the Japanese Americans. The children were commanded to stay silenced. “It was out of this sense of shame and fear of stigma was only beginning to understand that the nisei had silence themselves.” (Hongo, 16) Kubato didn’t insist on keeping it quiet tho.
This site was created to give researchers access to primary and other hard to find documentation concerning the evacuation, relocation, and internment of individuals of Japanese ancestry during World War II. Much of the information you will find on this site cannot be found anywhere else, except through laborious Freedom of Information Requests or personal visits to various archives around the country. Conventional wisdom concerning this controversial event in American history is that individuals of Japanese ancestry were rounded up and put into American concentration camps in violation of their constitutional rights because the country was overcome with "racism, hysteria and a lack of political will" after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Of those centers, only 80 percent of them saw on average less than one Canadian per month and 40 percent had seen no Canadians in the preceding year (Aaron E. Carrol, 2012). Even further, 99.39% of Canadians said they do not come to the U.S. for care, 0.5% come to the U.S. for care electively, and 0.11% come to the US for emergency care (Phantoms in the Snow: Canadians' Use of Health Care Services in the United States, 2002). America’s 20 “best” hospitals were also surveyed assuming Canadians that were traveling for health care would go to the best hospitals we have to offer, and only one out of the 11 hospitals that responded saw greater than 60 Canadians in a year. Finally, data from the surveys of the 18,000 Canadians that participated in the National Population Health Survey was obtained, and only 90 out of the 18,000 had received care in the U.S. with only 20 of those 90 ventured to the U.S. expressly for health care (Aaron E. Carrol,
Question 1: Which war would you least or most want to fight? * The Battle of Somme (1916) The Unbearable Battle Some battles are recognized for their victory and some for their defeat. Known for the death of nearly 57 000 British-Canadians troops, the battle of Somme is one of the least desirable battles to fight in during the start of the war as men were killed, injured and put in horrible conditions with little preparation for the bare minimum of success. The battle was positioned in the country of France, where thousands of British-Canadian men stood ready to fight against the troops of Germany. The futility of Somme was indeed unbearable.
The most common assumption was that if Americans had made their prior knowledge of the attack evident, the Japanese would know that their Purple Code had been broken and it would be back to square one (Harries). However, most people don't realize that President Roosevelt had been waiting for the perfect justified entrance to lead the country, still traumatized from World War I, into World War II. After World War I, a strong feeling of isolationism had developed in the United States. America had been destroyed in the first World War: the casualties had been extensive and the financial debt was tremendous. More than 300,000 American troops had been killed or wounded in the overseas battle ("the claim").
Canada prides itself in its multiculturalism, but Muslim immigrants after 9/11 felt themselves being targeted, humiliated and discriminated against. It was found that 75% of new Muslim immigrants could not find jobs within their professions, and that even the spare cleaning or security guard job is kept away from them . A large reason why the Jews were allowed to be persecuted and denied entrance to Canada during the Holocaust is due to the population’s anti-Semitic views influencing the government’s decisions, and Muslims are facing a similar problem, with the attitudes of the rest of the population turned against them. The amount of immigrants and the diversity of them has helped change Canadians’ attitudes greatly, but there is still work to
