The internment of Japanese Americans during World War II was a grave violation of civil liberties, driven by racial prejudice and wartime hysteria rather than any evidence of disloyalty. This unjust action not only caused immense suffering to innocent individuals and families but also undermined the principles of democracy and justice that the United States stands for. Furthermore, it failed to enhance national security, as many Japanese Americans served honorably in the military. Recognizing this historical injustice is crucial to prevent similar violations in the future.
Japanese Internment Camps were in the United States. They housed the Japanese Americans in these camps to search for spies and keep them from turning into spies. These camps were deemed unconstitutional by the US Supreme Court. So they were held illegally. The camp conditions were miserable. They had inadequate housing, bathrooms, food, and many did get sick from the camps. There were not killed or beaten or shot as the people were in the German Concentration camps. Some of the Japanese sons joined the war to prove their allegiance to the United States. The Japanese lost their homes, businesses and possessions. Some Japanese farmers had nice neighbors who kept their farms grow and producing and kept their houses safe but this was the exception not the rule. Many Americans back then were prejudiced against the Japanese, Chinese and other Asians. Truly sad. The German Concentration camps were filled with Jewish people slated to be killed or used for free hard labor. They were also filled with the "undesirables" the Nazis wanted out of the population. They were communists, political prisoners, religious people, dwarfs, Downs Syndrome people, feeble minded, people with congenital defects, the mentally ill and anyone else they felt like putting into the camps. There were POW camps too. In the camps the conditions were not merely miserable they were deplorable. They were filthy, disease ridden, and the buildings had no heat or beds. The prisoners were put into pajamas. They did not all have coats or shoes. The camps were designed to kill and cremate the people. Some camps had gas chambers to kill thousands of Jews daily. The people died from disease, exposure, dehydration, starvation, dysentery and murder by the Nazis. One of the most horrible things that happened to the prisoners was the medical experiments conducted on them. I couldn't write what happened to them. This entire project of eliminating people Hitler did not approve of was called The Final Solution. His goal was to have the population be only of pure Aryan descent. Incidentally, there is no medical word/fact or sociological human grouping of "Aryans". It was a word Hilter borrowed from some books he read.
No. there is no justification to killing that many innocent people in a war.
Garvey believed people of African descent could establish a great independent nation in their ancient homeland of Africa.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt intention with the Japanese internment was to round up and control all persons of Japanease ancestry in the USA, after Japan attacked the USN fleet at Hawaii, on December 7th, 1941. This was because of a fear that these person might do acts of sabotage, such as setting fires, or attacking civillians. They were collected and shipped to isolated camps in the mountains, or the desert, men women and kids, all together. Some camps had up to 10,000 people in them In actual fact, the Japanese-Americans proved to be very loyal and when they were given the chance to become American soldiers they fought well, but not in the Pacific theatre. They all served in Europe, far from Japan.
Most definitely. Even as a 16 year old, writing as "Silence Dogood," he advocated for women getting an education equal to that of men. Franklin first thought people of African descent were intellectually inferior to those of European descent, and thus the former were only worthy of being slaves. He eventually realized that, if properly educated, those of African descent were no less capable of intellectual endeavors.
They should not have sent the Japanese Americans to internment camps because more than 60% of them were regular US. citizens and the US government broke the 4th and the 14th amendment of constitution.
I believe the Casino internment camp was for political prisoners the Dutch evacuated from the East Indies when the Japanese were about to invade during WW2. I think the Dutch military guarded the camp. The Dutch government feared the prisoners might collaborate with the invaders and gain skills to be a major rebel threat should the Japanese be expelled.

Yes, the word "Latino" should be capitalized when referring to people of Latin American descent.
no way
Yes, the term Hispanic should be capitalized when referring to people of Spanish-speaking descent or origin.
Just be honest.

First of all, they were Japanese, not Japanese Americans. It's redundant. A lot of people harbored anger towards all Japanese people, even those who were American citizens. Although they shouldn't have thought that way since almost all of the Japanese in America were loyal to America during and after WWII, some people were still just mad. I guess they thought they should be mad at everyone that was Japanese, even though they should have been mad at Japan, not people that had lived in the U.S. before the war even started.
Yes, the term "Hispanic" should be capitalized when referring to people of Spanish-speaking descent or origin. It is considered a proper noun in this context.
Japanese should always be capitalized because it is a proper nou n.

Japan is a democracy and operates under the principle that the government should reflect the will of the people. However, the concept of "harmony" serves as a social buffer to the Japanese people expressing their will to their politicians. Therefore, it is unclear if the Japanese government truly represents the wishes and aspirations of the Japanese people.
