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

I believe, personally, that the general public was the most to blame. They voted to put the Japanese in Internment camps and the president just signed it. They might, many would have,have voted against them even without an attack on Peral Harbor. All Japanese were completly innocent as prooved by research in Hawaii by the F.B.I. but by then it was too late. The Japanese had sucessful business, and everyone else against them wanted that competion __//**gone**//__.
 * What is the relevant background information (i.e. who, what, when, where)?**

On Feburary 19, 1942 President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Excutive Order 9066 to put over 110,000 Japanese-Americans into Internment camps. The Japanese of the west coast of the United States were unfairly accussed and held, most against will but without struggle, in internment camps, because of suspision. They had to sell their possesions within the nocticed time, which could be any length of time, and only bring the life-nessecities, very important heir-looms, and the like, with them to be shipped and re-packed, and relocated until they were in a camp. On April first, 1942 all of the mainland west coast Japanese Americans were secure in internment camps. It only took less than four months.
 * What were 3 factors that helped cause the conflict (politics, economics, geography, history)?**

There are many things that could have inflicted the Japanese minds to go attack Hawaii, or some diesease taken root on F.D.R. and the only way to save his own life was to sign an order to relocate all Japanese-Americans to internment camps, but still those aren't the reasons. These are;1. The Japanese bombing on Peral Harbor, Honolulu, Hawaii. December seventh, 1941, During World War 2 (Historical, Geographical). 2. Press and media publishing rumors and personal suspisions almost everyday. William Randolph Hearst, a newspaper tycoon, did as such (Political). 3. The Japanese had great sucess as business people andfarmers. Many were jealous and voted against the Japanese-Americans, guilty or not (Economical, Political). All of those have a point and a place, all of them happaned, all of them didn't help get the Japanese-Americans freedom out of Internment camps sooner.

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

One very good factor was the fact that so many of the gernal public did not like the sucess of the Japanese-Americans, but another factor not really yet explained but still important was that Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the order partly because people voted for it, partly because when he signed he gained trust to be voted for. Therefore, he got to be President for eight years because he signed off all the Japanese-Americans. He couldn't care less about them if they didn't vote. That last statement is a s far from the truth as it can be, or at least far away from fact, it might have been true. In reality, it's hard to tell if he cared or not. I think a part of him didn't, but a part of him did, but a bigger part cared for being President.
 * How could the conflict have been avoided?**

There are five ways they, we, could have all avoided this conflict. 1. The Japanese could have simply not attacked us. 2. Non-Japanese-Americans could have ignored the bombing/ not become suspisious despite our nature. 3. Not making or signing Executive Order 9066/ Not being voted against 4. World War 2 could have never happaned but that is the hardest of these to avoid at this point. 5. Japanese-Americans could have rebelled, but that is the least likely to work.
