Cause Of Japanese Internment

730 Words3 Pages

There are many reasons that the Japanese internment was caused and could have been prevented. One of the ways that it was caused because of pearl harbor and that everyone thought it was impossible for the Japanese to strike, which then caused American residents scared that they will strike again. One way that they could have prevented it is by having a Military ready to defend their territory (Hawaii wasn't a state by then it was a territory). One thing that causes conflict is bad communication, one way the conflict was caused in the Japanese internment is that the American citizens assumed that Japanese Americans were bad people even though someone related to them were from Japan so they are considered American citizens but have Japanese in …show more content…

Roosevelt talking to each other about what their problems with each other are so they didn’t have to go through the bombing of pearl harbor and then having to make the Japanese Americans to go to those camps because of their fear of their lower class security. Or maybe this could have been avoided if Franklin did not become president for 12 years. Maybe someone got mad about that and decided to set up Japan to Bomb Pearl Harbor to get Franklin to be scared, but that's just a theory, a Ethan Theory. But seriously I didn't get that from any source so it's just what I …show more content…

What I think of this is they should have had a bigger military better training camp and they should have been more prepared a tragedy like this. Or maybe they didn't have a fear for them at the time because no one I SAY NO ONE thought it was possible.

Still the fact that the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor because of Franklin D. Roosevelt and then caused the Japanese Internment is a huge series of events and will be known in history for many centuries. Or maybe Japan just did it because they wanted, but there has to be a reason to such a tragedy. Evidence to support my claim is “The internment of people of Japanese descent in America during WWII was caused by two things. First, it was caused by a very understandable fear for the security of the country. Japan had managed to pull off the attack on Pearl Harbor, which no one had thought was possible.”
(Enotes, What were the causes of the Japanese Internment Camps.) This evidence supports my claim because it states that the Japanese internment was caused by the Bombing of Pearl

    According to the Supreme Court Record “Part Three of the Brief” it states, “There was ample ground to believe that imminent danger then existed of an attack by Japan upon the West Coast.” (206) This was mainly believed because the area had a large amount of war facilities and production which could have assisted in their belief of having the internment policy. Also, a factual claim that pro-internment advocates expressed was that through the “existence of media” Japan have attempted or had attempted to secure war aims. (206)

    As opposed to righteous view that America was safeguarding its position in the war, the Japanese American internments were created out of resentment and racial prejudice fostered by other Americans. As the article “Personal Justice Denied” stated, the internments were led by “widespread ignorance of Japanese Americans contributed to a policy conceived in haste and executed in an atmosphere of fear and anger at Japan” (Doc E, 1983). It may seem like a precautionary cause to make internments but there aren’t any other extreme measures for other fronts. Caused by a hatred stirred by media and society’s view, many people disdain the Japanese.

    But it also shows that they were not the only ones to be mistreated and racially attacked and detained after the attack on Pearl Harbor. It was unfair for them to have their rights ripped from them, no trial or no evidence. It was because of their ethnicity that they were gravely mistreated by the system that was supposed to protect them. It didn’t matter if you were a natural born citizen, or if you were of different ethnics of any foreign nature you were or could be consider to be an enemy of the United States. Even though the government justified their actions by protecting the people against further attacks, all they did was abuse the constitution, its power and ruin people’s

    The internment of Japanese-Americans was justified because there were Japanese suspects. Between ten internment camps in Arizona, California, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, and Arkansas, about 250-300 people in each camp were suspects under surveillance. Only around 50-60 people were actually considered dangerous. “It is easy to get on the suspect list, merely a speech in favor of Japan being sufficient to land one there” (Munson 2). Clearly, America was taking extreme precautions.

This horror story was all too true for the thousands of Japanese Americans alive during World War II. Almost overnight, thousands of proud Japanese Americans living on the west coast were forced to leave their homes and give up the life they knew. The United States government was not justified in the creation of Japanese internment camps because it stripped law-abiding American citizens of their rights out of unjustified fear.

    On December 11, 1941 Pearl Harbor was attacked by Japanese, more than 360 Japanese warplanes. They came and bombed our harbor killing more than 5,000 people. After the bombing America had a suspicion that maybe there was a spy, so they put more than 110,000 Japanese-Americans in an internment camps. I feel that internment camps were not necessary though because of that action we were thought of as racist, harsh, and dis loyal. I feel that because of those internment camps we were looked at as racist because we put humans in a internment camp just because they were of a different race.
