Knowing that this is going to get flagged for racially insensitive language... "Jap", often with a perjorative such as "dirty" in front, was pretty common.
I believe sadly they were all sent to internment camps !
While the Japanese government and military thought the Pearl Harbor bombing was a real victory and blessing. However, the Japanese people did not share those views all through the country.
People don't "Celebrate" Pearl Harbor, they remember Pearl Harbor.
It made all people that lived in Pearl Harbor feel bad and they were mostly dead.We now are loving Hawaii and the Japanese are not bombing perl harbor.
29 Japanese airplanes were downed, and 5 mini-subs were lost.
They were treated like enemy spies by some racist people and then were put into internment camps for 5 years.
Most people accept the fact that Japan wanted the US Battle Fleet out of the way; and the only way to do that was to destroy it.
With righteous indignation.
Pearl Harbor Day is a remembrance day for the Pearl Harbor bombing on December 7, 1941. The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii during World War II, destroying many of the US Military's ships and killing over 1,000 people in the attack.
See website: Attack on Pearl Harbor
I believe that 2,345 people were killed.
The reason relocation for Japanese Americans was put to use. Was due to the fact of the bombing Pearl Harbor. The American people were so stereotypical that they thought all Japanese people were linked to the attack on Pearl Harbor. They were taken to places almost like the concentration camps in Germany. But these relocation camps were meant for holding people until the war with Japan was over. Not for exterminating a race from existence.
