Japanese+internment+MH


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

The Americans believed that the Japanese had sent spies to the US. The American's had started to classify the Japanese as Isei's and Nisei's. An isei is someone who was born in japan and moved to America. While a Nisei is someone who was was born in the US but is part of the Japanese nationality. Americans were as much responsible for the Japanese Internment as the Japanese were for bombing pearl harbor. Even though some of these japanese americans had nothing to do with the bombing of pearl harbor.

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

People who were born In america should be considered Americans. Although they may not look the same they are the same on the inside. The people who thought of the Japanese Americans as anything less then what thought of them before was wrong. These Japanese Americans were living happily in there own towns across America. But after the Bombing of Pearl Harbor These Americans were shipped to Camp Harmony. In Camp Harmony you got meals 3 times a day and there were no second helpings except for with milk and bread. The Ordinary food supplies were spagetti, potatoes, stewed tomatoes, milk, and bread. Later on they added other items like rice. And each family shared a horse stall to live in.

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

There were three factors That had influenced and caused part of the conflicts that took place. Economics were one of the few. America happened to have been in a better economic state than japan In the time of the bombing because the Japanese needed Petroleum because at the time that was a vital economic factor. Geography was also a big part that took place during the bombing of pearl harbor. The japanese were living on a small piece of land in southeastern asia. So they bombed pearl harbor because of a lack of land source.

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

I think the economic factor was the most important factor for the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941 because, in that time Petroleum was a vital economic factor to get by and as japan didn't have that they bombed America knowing that they had Petroleum. While they also bombed because of a lack of land source the Petroleum was the big problem.

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

This conflict could have been avoided by the Japanese not bombing Pearl harbor in the first place. If Pearl Harbor hadn't have been bombed there would have been no problem between the two countries in the first place. Also the Americans could not have gone and taken Japanese Americans out of there homes and putting them in Interment Camps.
