President Franklin D. Roosevelt believed that the CCC would help the rural unemployed and keep youth off the streets. The CCC was operated under the army’s control. In September 1935 over 500,000 young men had already lived in CCC camps, staying for nearly a year. The work focused on soil conservation and reforestation. Most importantly, the men planted thousands of trees on land that was made useless by fires, natural erosion, or lumbering.
The CCC could have had the possibility of benefitting our fictional family greatly. The CCC was a public work relief program that operated from 1933 to 1942 in the United States. It was for young men who were unemployed and unmarried. Having three boys that could all work would have turned out great for our family, except we were put in a unique situation and we could have many different outcomes of how our lives would have gone.
The Japanese Americans were treated unfairly during their captivation in the internment camps. The attack on Pearl Harbor brought the US into the second World War making the Japanese people an easy target for hate and suspicion. The American government forced all Japanese Americans into internment camps that were extremely cramped and unsanitary. The anti-Japanese propaganda influenced by the raging war just outside America, fueled Americans with hatred and distrust towards these immigrants which in turn made the engagement of the Japanese people, as well as culture such an easy feat. The United States was launched into WWII on December 7, 1941, when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.
President Roosevelt declared war against Japan the very next day. Even as they didn't want to get involved with war many men began to sign up to fight against the Japanese and for their country. The attack made America seek vengeance against Japan and get them back for what they did. One of these examples would be the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This attack immediately killed 80,000 people in Hiroshima and 40,000 in Nagasaki.
Nearly 2403 people died from this attack. As a result of this attack, America categorized any Asians as part of the Japanese who attacked pearl harbor. Almost two third of the Oregon and California civilization was made up of Japanese descendants. The Americans made propaganda posters
On December 7, 1941 Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. The day after the bombing the United States and Britain declared war on Japan. Two months after the bombing President Roosevelt signed an executive order to send all Japanese Americans to concentration camps. America feared that many Japanese Americans would remain loyal to their ancestry in Japan. Over 122,000 Japanese families were evacuated from their communities and sent to internment camps.
Many people were killed from the many bombs dropped upon Pearl Harbor, destroying many important battleships and aircrafts used in wars. After the bombing America´s course had changed into a war ground. During WWII and WWI America had tried to stay out of the war only giving support to Britain, France, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, India, The Soviet Union, and China. But with the push from
The following events caused the tensions to raise between Japan and The United States of America which led up to the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Internment of Japanese Americans. They are the Rape of Nanking and the sudden stop of U.S exports to Japan. In the 1930s Japan, had become very nationalistic, militaristic, and desired for more land to expand the population. So, Japan went to China and conquered Manchuria, Northern China, then most of China, and eventually Southeast Asia. This help Japan get out of its economic crisis but soon a very tragic and horrendous even took place.
Japanese Bombing The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was necessary in order for Japan to surrender, save American lives, and keep the Soviet Union from expanding its influence in Asia. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the U.S. held a conference in which they made it official that they were at war with Japan and ready to strike back as soon as possible. The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki made the Japanese realize that they couldn’t afford another fatal bombing and cause innocent people to die again so shortly after the bombing, they surrendered to the United States. Soon after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the United States knew that they had to come up with a plan to invade Japan and force them to surrender.
It is because the Japanese were not at odds with their country, they were not refugees, because they were well educated, because they could accomplish anything through hard work that they posed such a high threat in the eyes of many Americans. They did not want for the Japanese to keep an ounce of their culture; they did not want colonization of America by the “proud Yamato race” (Takaki 209); they were afraid of the possibilities the Japanese had before them. And so in order to avoid the problem altogether the Japanese had to be extracted from the social order, and the attack on Pearl Harbor provided the perfect
Since Japan was a rising power they saw one country in the way from keeping their empire secure, the United States of America. Hence the attacked pearl harbor. Japan did this without thinking about the consequences that would later come. Unfortunately for Japan, the U.S. decided to end the war with two nuclear bombs, little boy, and fat man. These two bombs devastated Japan and caused them to surrender.
Japanese fighter planes struck the base, and the fight lasted two hours. The battle was devastating. Most of the battleships in the harbor were destroyed, and about 300 other airplanes were destroyed. There were as many as 3,000 American soldiers and sailors who were killed in the attacked or wounded. Afterwards, President Franklin D. Roosevelt asked Congress to declare war on the entire country of Japan.
I believe that the bombing of Japan was an over the top choice by the Americans. This way of bombing the Japanese was very inhumane, and left thousands dead. The A-bomb was extremely inhumane, there were a number of other options that the americans could have used, instead of bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Some might think that the A-bomb saved america, but it destroyed Japan. They didn’t realize how much the A-bomb would affect the people and the whole country of Japan, the 20,000 kilojoule bomb killed 140,000 people within the months that followed.
December 7, 1941, the Japanese bombed American naval base, Pearl Harbor. In 1942, Japanese internment camps were built to restrict the Japanese in America. In response to the bombing of Pearl Harbor, on August 6, 1945 America bombed the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Hiroshima, by John Hersey, is a journalistic narrative that gives the accounts of six Japanese citizens that endured the atomic bomb. Hersey’s attitude in Hiroshima is to inform others of the consequences of the atomic bomb and the destruction it caused Hiroshima.
To this day, many scholars still argue the morality and justification of using such destructive force. However, President Truman’s decision was a wise and calculated one because of many reasons: it avenged the attack on American soil, it saved many more American and Japanese lives that would have been killed if the war was to continue, and it ranked the USA’s military as number one of the world’s most powerful while stopping Japan’s ambition to control the Indian and Pacific oceans. Japan’s decision to attack Pearl Harbor was by far mal advised and poorly thought through. This decision eventually brought the Japanese Empire to its own demise. In the years prior to the Pearl Harbor attack, Japan harbored anger and resentment towards the Allies, mainly America, due to the economic and military sanctions imposed on it.
