The Effects Of The Bombing Of Pearl Harbor

The Pearl Harbor bombing took place on December 7, 1941. This horrible tragedy was committed by the Japanese. In 1942, the United States government ordered many Japanese Americans/ Aliens to leave their homes hastily and was detained in remote, military-style camps. They were frightened and unaided due to their indefinite incarceration by the Americans shortly after Pearl Harbor was bombed.

No matter how long they or their families had lived in America, the US turned their back on them in an instant. Because of a suspicion of Japanese spies in the United States, they lost trust in the innocent citizens who happened to be of Japanese descent. Even if they wanted to serve their country, they weren't allowed to if they were Japanese-American. These US citizens were discriminated against by their own country because of their association with the enemy in the Pacific. There was a rational fear that Japanese-Americans would side with their native land over their new home in America.

On December 7, 1941, the world changed with Japan's first attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, striking the start of another war, World War II. America came back by taking Japanese-Americans from their lives and imprisoning them into internment camps until the war had come to its end in 1945. As citizens, Japanese-Americans should have been given their civil liberties rather than having the government do what they said was best for the common good. The bombing on Pearl Harbor had brought war hysteria, along with that, trashing of personal belongings and racial prejudice on Japanese in which were interned.

What would you do if you got stripped from your home and placed in a categorized camp because others simply didn't think your “race” was trusting? Well, that's exactly what happened to the Japanese when they were forced into internment camps for their own “beneficial safety” during world war 2. On December 7, 1941, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, which was the United States Naval base in Hawaii Territory. Because of the unexpected attack America responded back and had officially started a war. WWII officially known as the second world war was a well-known event that lasted from 1939 to 1945.

The Japanese were not placed in internment due to their race/ancestry for three reasons: They were the ones responsible for their removal, Justice Black’s statement that “Exclusion of those of Japanese origins were deemed necessary because of the presence of unascertained number of disloyal members of the group, most of whom we have no doubt were loyal to this country” (Japanese Interment pg. 3) and because the United States were at war with the Japanese Empire. The first reason the Japanese were not placed in interment due to their race/ancestry was that they were the ones responsible for their removal. If the Japanese did not attack Pearl Harbor the United States would not have joined World War II in the first place. Roosevelt would not have created the War Relocation Authority to relocate them either. The Japanese-Americans also failed to voluntarily remove themselves from the West

ONE The Japanese suffered more than the American citizens because the Japanese got sent to internment camps. Any Japanese immigrants and American citizens of Japanese heritage had to go while nothing happened to the American citizens, this response is because during World War 2 Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor led to America's mistrust of Japan so President Franklin D. Roosevelt made them internment camps so they couldn't betray the Americans. The Japanese had to stay in those camps for multiple years with limited resources and only getting paid 5 dollars a day to build themself a living like schools for their kids, churches, and more. TWO America was scared that the Japanese would attack as you would know from Document C which states “As

The attack was a surprise to the United States naval base located in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The bombing is what caused the United States to begin fighting in World War II. In 1941, after Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor, Americans thought the Japanese immigrants were spies for the Japanese government the enemy to the United States. Military wanted president FDR to have the power over the Japanese American. President FDR’s executive order 9066 was to put the Japanese in the camps in order to protect the United States from spying.

The bombing of Pearl Harbour is a historical event in America. It is also what triggered the government to force all Japanese-Americans into Internment Camps. Approximatley 120,00 of the Japanese-American people were sent to these horrid camps. Rumours were spread that the Japanese-American

On December 7, 1941, Pearl Harbor, an American naval base in Hawaii, was attacked. The attack was launched by the Japanese Empire in an effort to weaken the US’s pacific military fleet because Japan was planning on invading China, one of America’s allies. The attack on Pearl Harbor was extremely concerning for many Americans because the US had never been attacked by a foreign nation before, aside from the Revolutionary War. As a result of this increase in concern, the US joined World War ll and Japanese- Americans became the victim of lots of scrutiny. Slowly Americans of Japanese descent had their rights stripped away.

On December 7th, 1941, Japan bombed the United States naval base in Pearl Harbor. This event changed the lives and treatment of Japanese Americans drastically. After Japan bombed Pearl Harbor and the United States entered the war, there were many rising concerns about the loyalty of Japanese Americans. Congress and many citizens believed that the United States was at a risk of Japanese Americans sabotaging America. President Franklin D. Roosevelt then signed the Executive Order 9066 which forced all Japanese Americans into internment camps.

Building up to the mid 1940s, Japan’s resentment towards western civilizations grew in response to their forced trade relationships. After militarily taking over parts of China, Japan decided to strike the United States before they could respond to Japan’s belligerence. With the attack of Pearl Harbor, Japan pushed the United States to officially join the Second World War. Fear from the attack towards the Japanese and existing racism lead to the internment of the Japanese citizens of North America, which led to hostile relations between those of the Japanese and the Americans. Pearl Harbor created an overwhelming fear amongst the citizens of America of the Japanese.

On the early morning of December 7th, 1941, Japan bombed the U.S naval base at Pearl Harbor. American fear of Japanese espionage would soon lead to the internment of over 110,000 Japanese-American citizens on the west coast of the U.S. The internment of Japanese-Americans during WWII was not justified because their rights were stripped from them, they were forced to face unnecessary conditions, and the reasons they were interned were racists and unconstitutional. The U.S government used racist and unconstitutional reasons to intern the Japanese-Americans.

World War II took place between 1939 and 1945, the war was against Germany, Japan and Italy, meanwhile when the war was taken place, in America some Japanese Americans were victims of discrimination and racism. All this discrimination, and racism increased right after Pearl Harbor (1941) because the government started to suspect that some of these Japanese Americans will sympathize with the Japan attack and progressive they would start to support them. During this period, those Japanese people who used to live in America were victims of a bad treatment of discrimination. The Americans took their rights away, they cannot became citizens or own land, after this around 120,000 Japanese Americans moved to prison camps around the country. This Japanese-American internment was just the separate of Japanese people from American people.

Japanese Immigrants in the United States War can affect people in plenty of cruel ways leaving them in hopelessness. During World War II, Americans of Japanese descent lived through racism and fear. The War caused enough fear to put these Japanese Americans through unnecessary labor. They were put into camps to be removed by other American citizens. Sadly, Japanese Americans were forced to prove their already made loyalty to America.

Madeline Van Loon Mrs. Bricker English 8 3 March 2023 Japanese Americans After Pearl Harbor Pearl Harbor is an event that most people have heard about, what is not considered is what it was like for the refugees that were treated poorly.
