Japanese Internment Camps

President Roosevelt's decision to issue Executive Order 9066, which led to the internment of Japanese American citizens during World War II, is widely regarded as unjustified and driven by wartime hysteria rather than concrete evidence of disloyalty. The order resulted in the violation of civil liberties for thousands of innocent individuals based solely on their ethnicity. Historians and civil rights advocates argue that it reflected racial prejudice and fear rather than legitimate national security concerns, ultimately leading to a dark chapter in American history. In retrospect, the internment is seen as a grave error that violated the principles of justice and equality.

The U.S. government was able to legally move Japanese Americans into internment camps through the issuance of Executive Order 9066 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in February 1942. This order authorized military commanders to designate "military areas" from which any person could be excluded, primarily targeting Japanese Americans on the West Coast, justified by national security concerns during World War II. Subsequent court rulings, such as Korematsu v. United States, upheld the government's actions, deeming them a wartime necessity despite later acknowledgment of their unjust nature.

Prisoners of Japanese internment camps during World War II faced harsh conditions, including overcrowding, inadequate food, and limited access to healthcare. Many were forced to abandon their homes and businesses, resulting in significant economic loss and trauma. The camps were often located in remote areas, contributing to feelings of isolation and despair among internees. Despite these challenges, some individuals sought to maintain a sense of community and culture through social events, education, and artistic expression.

basically the Japanese-Americans or Japanese immigrants did what they were told and tried to prove they were loyal to America. Though America was still paranoid. Their homes were sold and they got a new life after the war. No causes and effects, Just Life

No, absolutely not. The Japanese-American citizens that were held in internment camps were in no way anything but loyal Americans. They were denied civil rights that were granted to them in the Constitution and Japanese internment is now considered a huge mistake, though it wasn't admitted by any officials for years out of embarrassment.

It impacted outcome of the "Great War" because it killed many innocent people who were just following their countries orders and they were just defending their own nation from being invaded by their enemies.

they were interned because during ww2, Canada was at war with Japan and many canadians on the homefront felt that there were enemy aliens in British Columbia and thus wanted all Japanese people to be separated from the other sreggin.

it means medicines......

No but the conditions were really bad

Japanese invasion of Thailand happened on 1941-12-08.

According to the constitution it is illegal for anyone (a non-citizen included) to be imprisoned without charging them and having evidence against them. You must also provide the arrested (which the Japanese were not) persons with a lawyer at the expense of the state. You also cannot just enter a person's home if you are a military person and remove them from their home or take it over. Further more you cannot take their possessions when they have not been tried and convicted.

The Japanese were taken against their will, never charged, never provided attorneys and had their homes, possessions and businesses from them. They tried for decades to be repaid by the US. Most were dead before the US paid them paltry sums of money. They were taken as an over reaction to the Pearl Harbor Bombing. They were suspected of ALL being spies, considered guilty and never allowed to prove themselves innocent prior to being interned.

no only on the west coast because the most Japanese people living in the U.S. lived on the west coast because when the people came from Japan they didnt want to go all the way across the U.S. so they stayed on the east coast. They interned people in the east coast because that was where most of the Japanese people were and it would be easiest 8--------

for killing jues that's it

NEW ANSWER

actually... they were housing in rural areas that people of Japanese descent were forced to live in. This was because of the fear Japan would invade America and Japanese people living in America would be un-loyal and help Japan

btw that person who previously answered you spelled Jews wrong

I BOUGHT A SET OF ALL 3 TOKENS IN UNCIRCULATED CONDITION BACK AROUND 1980. I FOUND OUT THAT THE MINTAGE OF THESE TOKENS WAS RATHER LOW. THE 1/2 PENCE PIECE HAD A MINTAGE OF 2000 PIECES. THE 1 PENCE AND 6 PENCE WAS ABOUT 2500 APIECE. I PAID $53 FOR 1/2 PENCE. $30 FOR THE 1 PENCE AND $41 FOR THE 6 PENCE PIECE. WHAT RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THEY ARE WORTH ABOUT TRIPLE THAT TODAY. TED

The bombing of pearlHaber.

the buisnnes people, such as presidents of companies, and Japaneese from the industry and buisness world. aLSO, THEY WERE THE FIRST to be captured.

the Japanese Americans.

Japanese internment camps were set up in the USA in WW2 to contain Japanese Americans. An obvious con of the camps were that they infringed on the rights of innocent American citizens. A pro is that they kept non Japanese Americans from panicking.

They were most likely stolen or destroyed.

Japanese Internment camps were never a necessity. Based on a few Japanese people who hid a Japanese pilot, the entire population of Japanese Americans were convicted without a jury. Yet, Japanese Americans still continued to join the army, and go to fight for their country while their families were forced to live in internment camps. Historians agree this was a very dark time in American history.
