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

After the japanese bombed pearl harbor, it caused an upcrease in discrimination and suspicion of japanese living in america. many people in america, feared that the japanese living there were spies!! I believe that the person or people who are most responsible for the internment of the japanese is the american goverment ie. the president of the united states. President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 authorizing the mass incarceration of over 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II. He shouldn't have reacted so dramatically.( japanese internment in world war2)

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

The 7 December 1941 Japanese raid on Pearl Harbor was one of the great defining moments in history. A single carefully-planned and well-executed stroke removed the United States Navy's battleship force as a possible threat to the Japanese Empire's southward expansion. America, unprepared and now considerably weakened, was abruptly brought into the Second World War as a full combatant.on february 19, 1942 president franklin d roosevelt issued and signed executive order no. 9066. this order gave the secretary of war and military commanders the right to secure the western defense zone with the immediate removal of all japanese living west of the cascade and sierra nevada mountains. ( pearl harbor- what really happened)  

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


 * 1) The first factor that was part of the cause of japanese internment was world war 2. The bombing of pearl harbor marked the begining of world war 2, and the bombing of pearl harbor also lead to japanese internment.
 * 2) Another facter that lead to japaneses internment was executive order no. 9066, which was signed by the president of the united states ( Franklin D. Roosevelt). this order pretty much gave the goverment permission to put all the japanese,living along the west coast, in internment camps.
 * 3) The last factor of japanese internment was that many americans were very suspicious of japanese living in america. many people of asian descendentds had already experienced discrimination from other people living in the U.S.A.( washington a state of contrast)

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

the most important factor that lead to japanese internment was the bombing of pearl harbor. not only did it mark the start of worl war 2; but it also caused an increase in discrimination and suspiction of japanese americans. as the war broke out many people feared a japanese invasion in the west coast. so as you can see the fear of spys and a attack from the japanese were widespread.( washington: a state of contrast)

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

The conflict of japanese internment could have been avoided if the president of the U.S.A didnt act so dramaticly and signed executive order no.9066.
