Betrayed by the US, angry at the nation that had attacked them and hurt that neighbors hadn't stood up for them.

What games did Japanese Americans play in internment camps and how do you play them?

What are Japanese American interment camps?
Japanese internment camps were meant to house any Japanese Americans whom "posed a threat" to the American Government or people during WWII. Though this sounds innocent, the Americans took total liberty in putting any Japanese they could get there hands on in there.
Why were Japanese forced into internment camps?
The reasons are rather Un-American. The people of the government overreacted and wanted to round up all the Germans, Italians and Japanese to see if they were spies and keep them interned. They did not put the Germans and Italians into camps because famous people told the government people it would be unfair and impossible with the amount of Germans and Italians in the United States. No one spoke up on behalf of the Japanese. So they were interned unconstitutionally and unfairly. They could not understand the Japanese people had no allegiance to Japan and were not spies.
Did president Eisenhower authorize the Japanese internment?
No. Ike was not president when the Japanese-Americans were interned: Franklin Roosevelt was, and he did authorize it. He also authorized interning German-Americans and Italian-Americans - many in Montana, and many in Texas. I do not know why we do not hear about these interned citizens.
What year were the Japanese released from the internment camps?
The camps were dissolved over a period of many months from April to November, 1945 and some individuals (non-US citizens) remained in the camps as late as April, 1946 pending deportation to Japan.In January, 1945, the US Supreme Court upheld the exclusion of Japanese-Americans from military zones, but ruled that US citizens of Japanese descent could not be detained in camps.
Why were the japanese imprisoned in the US in world war 2?
The Japanese Americans were not imprisoned, per se. They were put into internment camps until the war was over, because the American Government didn't know if they could trust them. It was not until the war was almost over that they were freed when the Supreme Court ruled this action unconstitutional toward US citizens.
What was clothing like in Japanese internment camps?
i never knew about it well some people shouldn't answer questions if they don't know about it, they made their own clothes and they wore the things that they brought with them from their home.
Was the US justified in sending Japanese nationals and Japanese-Americans to interment camps during World War 2?
Gee whiz, we hope that didn't happen!"Interment" means burial.You must mean "internment" camps.Well, the government was paranoid back then, plus back then we didn't know better. Plus, all of the Axis nations that we were at war with sent in spies, and the Japanese were pretty crazy back then, so we didn't know what to expect.
Why did US intern Japanese Americans during the war?
The US military was worried that Japanese agents would be involved in spying or sabotage on the Pacific coast. At the time, some suspected that Japan might mount an attack on the US mainland.President Roosevelt was convinced to sign an executive order to exclude those of Japanese ancestry from the militarily important areas, and they were relocated to guarded camps, mostly in remote desert areas. More than 110,000 people had to leave their homes and live in crowded and inhospitable conditions. This internment lasted from early 1942 until 1945, when the US Supreme Court ruled that the summary detention of Japanese-American citizens was illegal.
How many deaths were in the Japanese camps?
As far as I know , there were none
Camps in Canada during World War 2?
As much as I know there were no Concetraition Camps in Canada, that is a stupid quetion if I have ever heard one.AnswerThere were 26 Internment Camps established in Canada which held Japanese Italian and German Canadians. More than 30,000 were affected by these camps including 100 Canadian Communists. Forty Prisoner of War Camps were set up for 33,798 German and Italian POW's and 6,437 Civil Internees (mostly Merchant Marine).Please note Internment Camps and Concentration Camps are NOT the same thing. Canada not have concentration camps.Side note: the fact that you spelled question wrong leads me to doubt you. :D lol, jk, probably a mistake.
Why Japanese Americans were put in interment camps in the US?
Yes they were. Shameful though it may be, all Japanese US residents and Japanese-American citizens, young and old, male and female, all of them everywhere, were put into camps. Unlike the Germans and Italians in the US, the Japanese were interned collectively. Most of them were probably living in California when the US declared war on Japan, but internment applied to all people of Japanese descent in the US (and US territory such as the Hawaiian Islands and the Philippines). If i undertand the question ,the asker wanted to know if "all" people of Japanese heritage were put in camps during the war, and the answer is no. Of the 150,000 Japnese Living in Hawaii, 1200-1500 were interred during the war.There were not many of Japanese heritage living in the east but most of the few that did were not interred either. 62% of those interred were American citizens. In 1942 Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which " allowed authorized military commanders to designate "military areas" at their discretion, "from which any or all persons may be excluded." These "exclusion zones," unlike the "alien enemy" roundups, were applicable to anyone that an authorized military commander might choose, whether citizen or non-citizen. Eventually such zones would include parts of both the East and West Coasts, totaling about 1/3 of the country by area. Unlike the subsequent detainment and internment programs that would come to be applied to large numbers of Japanese Americans, detentions and restrictions directly under this Individual Exclusion Program were placed primarily on individuals of German or Italian ancestry, including American citizens."
