How Did Ww2 Affect The Japanese

The camps that the Japanese-Americans were taken to had the worse conditions imaginable. “More than 120,000 Americans of Japanese Ancestry were incarcerated in 10 camps scattered throughout the Western United States during World War II” (Children of the Camps Project 1). Detainees spent many years in these camps. They were locked behind barbed wire fences, and armed guards patrolled the camps. The conditions were comparable to the Jewish camps in Eastern Europe. Entire families lived in quarters that were poorly constructed and horribly cramped. These areas were also unbearably cramped and unclean. There was also no hot water for dishes or showers in the living quarters. In addition, lice was a huge problem in the internment camps. These camps and the laws that our government passed against the Japanese community were atrocious. The United States experienced a terrible tragedy when Pearl Harbor was attacked. However, the American government had no right to make these innocent Americans prisoners of war. During the 1940s and 1950s the Japanese

Throughout history of the world , we have experienced many horrific occurrences, two of these being the Holocaust and Japanese Internment. Although both of these incidents are terrible, the Holocaust was much more miserable. The Jewish people were placed into Concentration camps by the Nazis, but Adolph Hitler was racist towards them. The Japanese were relocated to Internment camps. The way of life in these camps is way negligent.

1933 there were nine million Jews, by 1945 there were only three million. Germany was left with a population of only three million Jews in a matter of a twelve year span. The individuals who lived were all forced to do very strenuous manual labor day after day. While the Japanese internment camps feed them daily while still providing medical treatment to the ill and wounded. The Japanese internment camps and Jewish concentration camps differed in the amount of people that were killed, the manual labor required, and the inhuman treatment of the people.

Concentration camps and internment camps were different because jews were forced to work and Japanese

World War II is the most brutal war in the history of the world. Both the U.S. and Germany put innocent people in internment camps (in the U.S.) and concentration camps (in Germany). Both countries treated both groups differently, but both were the same. The United States gave the Japanese fairly normal lives with the exception of that the Japanese could not leave the “cage”, while Germany gave the Jews next to no rights at all. Japanese internment camps and Jewish concentration camps were the same because each country wanted to be safe from the cause of their problems, both countries were both racist to the society that they put in the camps, and the two countries were both afraid of the other race.

The Japanese had to go to camps mainly because it was their civil duty. They could not function properly in society because of racism, especially when the Japanese attacked pearl harbor. After the attack nobody trusted Japanese-Americans. The government felt that they needed to protect them from society. Americans had very strong feelings towards these people and there was propaganda made to encourage the withdrawal of Japanese people. Even the creators of looney tune cartoons made an episode of how the Japanese man is a savage and extremely ruthless person to anything. Some episodes were about the Germans as well, and how they train the youth to believe in these horrible things, and growing up

First, Nazi concentration camps and Japanese internment camps were not essentially the same thing because the Jews were not being treated like people, while the Japanese resumed a normal life. First, in Anne Frank's diary it says, “The people get almost nothing to eat, much less to drink”(Anne Frank's diary, October 9th,1942) . In the Nazi concentration camps they weren’t even given the luxury of food. It was watered down porridge, which gave them absolutely no nutritional value. To make matters worse, water was only available 1 hour a day. Many people would go days without food and water. Killing the weak and the sick. Next, while in the Japanese internment camps they had plenty of food and water. They had healthy food

……the majority worked full-time, usually around forty-four hours per week” (Prisoners at Home: Everyday Life in Japanese Internment Camps). Working in internment camps weren’t really needed, but it was to pass the time and get some money. They had many jobs for everyone to make living in internment camps less depressing and easier, however the concentration camps were not the same, their work was made to exhaust, put people’s lives in danger and even die. The purpose was to make the people in concentration camps break, suffer, beg, and torture them to the very

In conclusion, concentration camps and Internment camps are very different to each other when you compare the two. The reasons behind why the people were put into camps were different, the death statistics and the conditions that the camps

The Economic Effect on Japan during Post World War II Japan’s economy was greatly affected by the atomic bombs dropped on both Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Japan’s economic recovery as a result of this incident transformed Japan’s economic growth which has become known as the “Economic Miracle.” The bombs caused Japan to reconstruct many more facilities in which the economy moved forward. The Economic Planning Agency, which used to be known as the Economic Stabilization Board, helped Japan to become one of the leading economic nations. The United States also contributed to much of Japan’s recovery by occuping it from 1945-1951.

The Second World War was an international event which drastically impacted the world as a whole. With the war came a new found sense of mistrust throughout society. American and Canadian communities were divided due to the fear of espionage and sabotage, forms of spying which could help aid the enemy in war. This division promoted distrust, discrimination and violence toward Japanese immigrants and their children. To offset these fears resulting from war, Japanese Americans and Japanese Canadian citizens were forced into internment camps, resulting in a heightened sense of tension upon arrival home and finally the compensations of both US and Canadian governments

World War II was a war that changed the world. It affected many lives across the globe, including those in America. The lives of women and minorities in America were greatly changed. Women became a key part in aiding the war effort, and minorities took the opportunity to push for civil rights. However, for Japanese Americans, the war had a very negative effect as they were seen as a threat to our country. World War II truly impacted these groups of people and transformed their of ways of life.

They both had to work hard there were some advantages for the japanese though because they only had to work a little a day when the jewish again had to work until you died or couldn't work anymore and then died. They were both forced out of there homes and went to the camps right away. The jews were forced harshly out of there home with full force and if they had concentration camps that were close enough they would have to walk there and if u fell the nazis would take you on the side of the road and kill you there. On the other hand the japanese would be transported on buses so they didn't have to walk they were forced out of there homes but they could keep anything they had if they could bring it with themselves. The nazis only brought one suitcase and when they went into the so called showers they had to put their suitcase right in this certain area and they would never get it back. Finally they were based on their religion and they way the looked. Hitler didn't like the jews not just because of their religion but also he thought they were the blame of losing World war 1. Then in the Japanese camps were all based on if u looked like a japanese person or if you didn't look like a japanese person. There were so much Japanese Americans that were put into these camps some of them wanted to help us out but because apparently they had a face of the enemy they could help out in the war and they were rejected.

Jews were killed because Hitler was an evil man, as opposed to, the US government did not kill any Japanese-Americans on purpose, their death was of natural causes. The Jewish concentration camp’s were a lot harsher. Like when the old people and children could not work, they were gassed in a chamber. Another reason why the two camp’s would not be the same would be that the Japanese-Americans had to govern themselves, like what George Takei said in his interview about the Japanese Internment camps“ We help church services, had our own newspapers, built our own schools, and some of us even made camouflage nets for the US army.” All of these reasons might not be true, because the US could have been lying, so that is what makes this so interesting; the different

World War II had a definite impact on the United States. It changed how people lived and how other people were viewed. Not many people realize the treatment of people from our own country during World War II. Three groups of people that were affected were women, African Americans, and Japanese Americans. The lives of these people were changed drastically, whether by having to work, mistreatment because of skin color, or by being blamed for something that was done by a country they were native to.
