Why did the Japanese government act to create an empire on the Asian mainland during the 1930's?

During the 1930s, the Japanese government sought to create an empire on the Asian mainland primarily to secure resources, expand its territorial influence, and assert itself as a major world power. The economic pressures from the Great Depression and Japan's need for raw materials, such as oil and rubber, drove its imperial ambitions, particularly in Manchuria and China. Additionally, nationalist sentiments and the desire to counter Western colonial powers fueled military aggression and expansionist policies, leading to conflicts like the Second Sino-Japanese War.

While the internment involved the forced relocation and incarceration of Japanese Americans, it primarily infringed upon rights protected by the First Amendment (freedom of speech and religion) and the Fifth Amendment (due process).

What was the significance of internment of Japanese Americans?

There are a number of interesting and disturbing factors. First, most of the Japanese-American internees were American citizens. Second, the internment was ordered by President Franklin Roosevelt, who was considered to be fairly progressive; he definitely wasn't one in this case. When the case went to the Supreme Court, the court upheld the internment. Third, there had not been any acts of sabotage or espionage by any of the internees. Fourth, the internment was only applied along the west coast of the US. There was no internment camps established in Hawaii, despite the fact that there were a great number of Japanese-Americans, and even Japanese citizens, living in Hawaii at the time. There was a unit of the US Army formed entirely from Japanese-Americans, and mostly recruited from the various internment camps. The 442nd Regimental Combat Team, Japanese-American soldiers serving under Caucasian officers, saw service in Europe and was the most highly decorated unit (for its size) in the European Theater. Members of the 442nd earned 21 Congressional Medals of Honor, and earned the nickname "Purple Heart Battalion"
