During World War II, Executive Order 9066 was issued by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1942, leading to the establishment of internment camps for Japanese-Americans. This order authorized the forced relocation and incarceration of around 120,000 individuals of Japanese ancestry living in the United States, including American citizens, without any criminal charges or trials.

Is a contract valid if one of its terms breaks the law Why or why not?

No, a contract is not valid if one of its terms breaks the law. This is because contracts must be formed for a legal purpose and must comply with the law in order to be enforceable. If a contract includes a term that violates the law, that term is considered void and unenforceable, which may render the entire contract invalid. It is important for contracts to adhere to legal requirements to ensure their validity and enforceability.

The Japanese Internment Camps were America's version of Concentration Camps for US citizens of Japanese ancestry.

What were the really big different between the japenes camp and the concentration camps in wartime nazi Germany?

It is unclear whether you mean the Japanese internment camps in the USA or the POW camps in Japan, as comparisons are often made with both, so i will answer both questions: Nazi concentration camps were camps for civilians, designed to keep certain sections of society out of the way, as were the Japanese internment caps. The really big difference between the two was how people were treated, in the Nazi camps people were used as slave labour and killed, in the American camps people were allowed to live with their families and suffered no greater persecution. Japanese had not signed the Geneva convention (despite what 'Bridge on the River Kwai' said), so felt no obligation to treat the POWs well, in fact they viewed soldiers who surrendered as unworthy, so the felt justified in mistreating the POWs. The really big difference is that they were military institutions.


How did the concentration camps in America differ from the camps in Germany?

German concentration camps were mostly extermination or death camps designed to murder the inmates, primarily Jews. Some camps also sent out inmates to be used as slave labor. All the German camps were operated in total violation of international law and well outside all standard norms of behavior. The American camps were not "concentration" camps, but internment camps for Japanese, German & Italian nationals, as well as several thousand Japanese-Americans citizens and Japanese legal aliens from the west coast of the US. In accordance with international law, those foreign nationals from enemy countries (in the US when the war started) were interned in the camps only as long as the war lasted, and were freed at the end of the war. Unfortunately there are many myths and misconceptions about the relocation and internment of Japanese in the US. Japanese-American citizens and legal aliens were not relocated from Hawaii, the mid-west or the east coast of the United States. Only those living in the west coast areas were subject to this government action. Japanese-Americans were released from these camps based on various criteria, some well before the end of the war, others later near the end. Most of the Japanese-Americans that were interned the longest were from families that were unwilling to swear allegiance to the United States. Internment was based on the US government suspicion that many of the Japanese in America as legal aliens were loyal to Japan not the United States. In fact, a minority of those interned were vocally pro-Japanese and anti-American. Many Japanese-Americans volunteered to serve in the US military during the war. If they were currently interned, then they were permanently released to serve. The volunteer rates of those inside the camps was actually lower than from those Japanese-Americans outside the camps. In any event, it was not the policy of the US government to mistreat the internees. In fact the internees were generally well treated and cared for in almost all cases. The US court system had ruled in WW2 that it was legal for the government to take this action. Regardless, the Japanese-American citizens believed that the idea was wrong for them to have been sent to the camps in the first place. They petitioned the US government for compensation after the war. Eventually the US government apologized and paid some compensation to former internees, but the bitterness would remain for many.
