Japanese internment is a term generally used to refer to Japanese Americans in the United States during WWII. It forced thousands of Japanese nationalists and Japanese Americans to housing facilities during Japans attack on pearl habor.
ReplyDeleteI don't agree with this because the Japanese who were already in America were uprooted and taken away from their homes and what they knew.
In 1982, the United States government signed a legislation to create Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment on Civilians. Instead of admitting wrong doing to incarcerate based on race, war hysteria, and a failure of political leadership, the commission recommended and official governemt apology, payments of 20 thousands dollars to each survivor and a public education fund to help ensure this would not happen again.
The Japanese Internment was a forcible relocation in 1942 for around 110,000 Japanese nationals and Japanese Americans to housing facilities that were called War Relocation Camps in the wake of Imperial Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. I could agree then disagree because the Americans may have thought the Japanese people were spy's, yet then they been living there for a while and its not right if they lived there their whole life. The US had signed a act in the 1980s regarding the Japanese Internment, the act was called Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Latin Americans of Japanese Decent Act. Justin Grebloski
ReplyDeleteThe Japanese American internment was the force relocation of Japanese nationals and Japanese Americans in the United States to camps during World War II. FDR ordered about 120,000 Japanese Americans into internment camps located in the central regions of the United States. Some of the Japanese filed lawsuits because they thought their civil rights as U.S. citizens had been violated.
ReplyDeleteI don't think this was fair at all. They were already in America and they had to just pick up and leave. I think it is just horrible that they had to go through with this.
During the 1982 the US government decided to sign a legislation to make the Commission of the Wartime Relocation. The commission made a official government apology. There were over 20,000 dollars that went to the survivors.

Japaneese Internment was the forced relocation of Japanese nationals and Japanese Americans in 1942, to housing facilities called “War Relocation Camps”, after the attack on Pearl Harbor. They were forced to go to these camps, because it was feared they could be spies.
ReplyDeleteNo I do not think this was a reasonable policy. America was to be for everyone and the free, just because these people were Japanese, they were discriminated against, even being born here in America did not spare them, they were all treated like enemies.
In 1980 Congress established the Commission for Wartime Relocation and Inerment of Covilians. In 1983 the internment camps were condemed as unjust and racist and not a real military necessity. In 1988 Pres. Regan signed the Civil Liberties Act, giving $20,000 for each surving detainee. The checks were mailed out in 1990 along with official government apologies.

Japanese internment was we forced all the japanese people to relocate into little camps just because thay were japanese and thought that they were a threat to us. And no i dont think it was right because they were just stereo tying thinking that all the japanese were bad which they all werent there were just a few and then in 1980 instead of the US saying they were wrong for what they did they just payed the people off 20,000 dollars to all the survivors of the camps
ReplyDeleteJapanese Internment is when americans took japanese, and Japanese-Americans to interment camps, and pretty much segregated them from the rest of the country. Well, if america found them as a reasonable threat, just separating them was a good idea, there was no one killed really, so its not like the holocaust. They then realeased them from the camps once they decided they wern't about doing anything to hurt the U.S.
ReplyDeleteThe Japanese internment is when the Americans took over the Japanese, and put them into camps. Because the americans thought the japanese americans could be spys. They didnt kill them the just left them in till the end of the war
ReplyDeleteJapanese internment was when the American government basically imprisoned Japanese-Americans because they felt they were spies and a threat to the states. I don't think that things should have went that far. There was no reasonable evidence that showed any of them were spies. In 1982, they were given reparations from the government and an apology which i don't think will ever correct that.
ReplyDeleteThe japanese were held during ww2, I think it was a terrible thing, holding people against their will on circumstantial evidence is not cool, The government tried to make up for it by giving money in the 80's
