 * What is your //general// belief about who or what is most responsible for causing the conflict?**

I believe that the United States is most responsible for causing the conflict. I believe this because to start the whole thing America cut off trade with Japan. Then Japan could not recieve the tools thet needed. Japan retaliated by bombing Pearl Harbor. Frank Knox (1974-1944) believed that there were Japanese spies on the west coast. America then put all Japanese-Americans in Internment camps no mader what their condition was.

**What is the relevant background information (i.e. who, what, when, where)?** The people who were involved in the conflict were The Japanese and the Americans living in the West Coast. It all started when America stoped trade with Japan. Japan then retaliated by bombing Pearl Harbor. Then Americans decided to put them in Internment Camps. The bombing of Pearl Harbor took place in Hawaii. The Internment camps were located all over the U.S. Pearl Harbor was bombed on December 7, 1941. The Americans started puting Japanese in Internment Camps in 1945.

**What were 3 factors that helped cause the conflict (politics, economics, geography, history)?**

A geographic factor that helped cause the conflict was the attacking Pearl Harbor which was close to the West Coast. An economic factor was that America cut off trade with Japan. A cause of the conflict from politics was that the Americans kicked all Japanese living in the West Coast got put in Internment Camps.

**Explain why one factor is more important than the others.**

The most important factor was that the Americans cut off trade with the Japanese. This was most important because that started the whole conflict.

**How could the conflict have been avoided?**

The conflict could have been avoided by America not cutting off trade with the Japanese. If they would have not cut off trade, then Japan would have not bombed Pearl Harbor.
