JAPANESE internment & world War II ServiceSlide2

Japanese on the West Coast

112,000 Japanese Americans living on the west coast

Some were Issei (Native born Japanese immigrants)

Their children the second generation of Japanese Americans were called the Nisei they were born in the United States and were full US Citizens.80,000 of the 112,000 were Nisei or American Citizens Slide3

Anti-Japanese sentiment & discrimination

Severe racism on the part of people on the west coast of the country in regards to the Japanese

List of all Japanese Americans was compiled by FBI from 1939-1941

1924 Oriental Exclusion Law makes it impossible for Japanese Immigrants to become US Citizens.

Japanese were increasingly separated through schools and other social activities. Slide4

Japanese are ordered to Camps

The Empire of Japan Bombs Pearl Harbor on December 7

th

, 1941Americans were scared that Japanese on the West coast would support a Japanese invasion of the Mainland United States

On February 19

th, 1942 President Roosevelt signed Executive order 9066 which said that the government could relocate anyone that they thought could aid the enemy in any way.

All Japanese who lived on the West Coast of the United States were interned. Only about 1/100 of those in Hawaii were interned. Slide5

Where were the Camps

The majority of Japanese lived in California, where a likely Japanese would occur. Therefore the government thought that the Japanese would assist the invaders when they invaded.

These centers were located away from the west coast including the states of Arizona, Colorado, Alaska, Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming.

These camps were bare bones barracks where the people would be crowded into the camps.

62 % of the people in the relocation camps were American Citizens. Slide6

Japanese Prove Their Patriotism

Seeing as most of the Japanese who were interned in these relocation camps were American Citizens they had all learned about freedom in the constitution

They were concerned that they were not being given the same right to Freedom as other groups throughout the country.

They were not allowed to serve in the Army when the army banned Japanese Americans from serving based on the thought that they would betray the United States

This changed in 1943 when the US allowed for the creation of a segregated Japanese American Unit.Slide7

The 442nd

Regiment

The Government overturned an order to ban Japanese Americans from serving in the Armed forces in 1943.

They were allowed to from their own regiment, but were still not allowed to fight in the pacific theatre.

They wanted to prove to the government that they were loyal to the United States.

Even though they were interned many signed up for service during world War II.

They fought in Italy and Germany during the second half of the war and were some of the best and bravest fighters in the entire United States Army

Was one of the most dedicated Units of the United States military during WWIISlide8
