 * __What do you believe were the causes of the conflict?__**

I believe that it was all Franklin D. Roosevelt's fault and the u.s government's fault to. Roosevelt was suspiciouse that the japanese where Spying for japan so he sent them all to internment camps even though half of the japanese were children. And most of the japanese people where already american citezens but they didnt care they took away all there privliges anyways. But the most wierd thing about this was that even some japanese people where serving in the military for the U.S.A and they still took those people away and sent them to the camps. So I velieve tht cause of this conflict that could have benn avoided was franklin D. Roosevelt and the governments fault.

**__What is the relevant background information (i.e. who, what, when, where)?__**

On December 7th 1941, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. US citizens feared another attack and war seized the country.State representatives put pressure on President Roosevelt to take action against those of Japanese descent living in the US.On February 19th 1942 Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066. Under the terms of the Order, some 120,000 people of Japanese descent living in the US were removed from their homes and placed in Iinternment camps.The camps were guarded by military personnel and those who disobeyed the rules, or who were deemed to be troublesome were sent to the Tule Lake facility located in the California Rocky Mountains. In 1943 those who refused to take the loyalty oath were sent to Tula Lake and the camp was renamed a segregation centre.Finally In December 1944 Public Proclamation number 21, which became effective in January 1945, allowed internees to return to their homes. The effects of internment affected all those involved. Some saw the camps as concentration camps and a violation of the writ of Habeas Corpus, others though, saw internment as a necessary result of Pearl Harbor. At the end of the war some remained in the US and rebuilt their lives, others though were unforgiving and returned to Japan.



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

One of the first factors was politics. Politics made this conflict bigger than it really should have been The government and franklin D. Roosevelt was a big factor because if he just had took the people he new for sure had spyed on america for japan he could have avoided the whole bombing on pearl harbor. The second factor was that the american government cut off japanes trade. He cut off japans trade becuase they alied themselves with the german and we were more with there enemys side so we cut off trade with made japan angery. A third factor is that the year of th bombing it was election year to. So that meant if he had not made th intenrment camps for america, some americans would be mad at him and not vote for him so then he wouldnt be president. but since he did put internment camps up americans are happy because now they know kn one will be spying on them for japan. So that was another big factor of putting internment camps up and a casue of this conflict. I am just going to add a fourth factor maybe evn the biggest factor as well which was the bombing on pearl harbor, i think internments camp wouldnt have even happend with out this factor.


 * __Explain why one factor is more important than the others.__**

I Believe that the most important factor was politics. I beliieve it was the governments fault and the presidents fault as well. It was the governments fault i believe becasue they shouldnt have just took all japanese people they should have just took the japanese people who they were suspicous off for spying on them for the japanes and then question them. I aslo believe that The president has the right to do anything he wants so that would meen he woudl ahve had the choice of putting up the camps but instead he went with the governments side and took all the right form all japanese people and japanese american citizens! I believe this problem was caused because of racism of the japanes rase.

**__How could the conflict have been avoided?__**

I believe this conflict could have been avoided by Franklin just ignoring the whole problem but we now that would never happen and the government just had to take everyone just in case even thought they were seperating familys, and ruining lives. I also believe that if they just talked to japan about the trade problem it could have been avoided. I also think if the president was a bigger person he would have thought abouth others even the japanese before him self, because all he wanted to do is become president.
