Research Paper On Okinawa

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the internment of Japanese Americans on the West coast of the United States. On going tension between the United States and Japan rose in the 1930’s due to Japan’s increasing power and because of this tension the bombing at Pearl Harbor occurred. This event then led the United States to join World War II. However it was the Executive Order of 9066 that officially led to the internment of Japanese Americans. Japanese Americans, some legal and illegal residents, were moved into internment camps between 1942-1946. The internment of Japanese Americans affected not only these citizens but the

There are four main reasons why Truman ordered the dropping of the two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I will now discuss each reason in more detail with factual evidence that justifies his decision. By April 1945 the Japanese armed forces had been eliminated from everywhere apart from their home soil and parts of northern Manchuria in China. The Americans had already taken some of the Japanese homeland, Okinawa approximately 300 miles south of Kyushu had been taken.

East Asia was an important region of American influence; its strategic location, with its trade routes, for example, had the potential to offer the US a strong foothold in the Pacific region and the upper hand over the Soviet Union. As a result, the use of the atomic weapons in Japan was a significant issue between Russia and the United States; as put in A People’s History of the World, the American decision to use the nuclear bomb against Japan in August 1945 “was clearly motivated, at least in part, by a desire to show Stalin the enormity of the destructive power at its disposal.” The US had already developed the technology yet the decision to use the weapon was a debatable one, despite President Truman’s statements justifying the decision on the basis that a Japanese invasion would cost less American lives. Right next to Japan, the Open Door policy in China was important to American investors and proved to be very profitable, too. As long as Japan and the United States shared the exploitation of

The tension between the United States and Japan all began over the differences of China back in the 1930’s. The country of Manchuria, which was then a part of China, was conquered by Japan. Instead of stopping there, Japan wanted more; they wanted all of China. So in 1940, the government of Japan made an alliance with Germany. The following year, the Japanese government took over Indochina.

The Japanese and Americans have a rocky history because of the harm they have both caused each other. With the Japanese bombing Pearl Harbor and Americans bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki, tensions have ran high between the two. Even Japanese Americans were feared after Pearl Harbor and Americans acted in a panicked manner. The fear of Japanese Americans at the spark of WWII caused American citizens to take extreme measures. Incarceration camps were set in place to contain Japanese Americans and take them out of their homes. These camps were mean to keep an eye on them and protect America from potential Japanese spies. The camps were necessary for the protection and security of the American people because America was not sure what was going on.

Imagine being taken away from your home, job, school, friends, and family. Just because of what others had done and you; being accused because you look like them or are from the same race. Read this Essay and you will understand how the ‘Japanese-American Internment’ affected many of the Japanese-American and how unfair that “law” had become. This meaning that I am against the Japanese-American Internment.

fter the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Executive Order 9066 was given which lead to the wrongful incarceration of Japanese Americans. Not many people know about the Internment camps in the United States which detained more than 120,000 Americans of Japanese Ancestry. (“The Camps”) Life for Japanese americans in the internment camps was hard and transition back to normal life would be even harder.

On December 7, 1941 the Japanese Air Force conducted a preemptive attack on the US Naval Station at Pearl Harbor Hawaii. After the attack in Pearl Harbor, the American people were irritated and fearful. These tensions would reach their peak in areas in the west coast such as California; citizens and lobbyist would then force pressure on the White House to take action. Warren Burger, the Attorney General of California, would lead the charge on relocation efforts for Japanese citizens. The relocation efforts were justified by the fear and belief that these people were unknown and that they could be spies or threats.

Starting in the 1880s, the story of Japanese Americans and their presence within the grand scheme of America’s culture has its fair share of controversies, but perhaps the most contentious chapter is the internment of Japanese Americans during World War 2. Widely considered one of the most egregious breaches of civil rights during this era, Japanese internment was blatant discrimination that took advantage of the panic during World War 2, and the predisposed notions many Americans had concerning the Japanese. In order to best understand the cultural impact that this period had on the American racial landscape, one must understand the Japanese immigration to America, racial relations leading up to World War 2, the causation of the internment,

In PAT, Schweikart and Allen explain to readers to United States took part in WWII due to needing to defeat “unmistakably evil foes,” or Nazi Germany. Zinn states a similar response, that the American people were resistant against Hitler’s overpowering totalitarianism, racism, militarism, and aggressive warfare. Additionally, the author explains that the United States had antagonised Japan, starting in the 1920s, due to the Japan’s wish to colonize the Southwest Pacific. And, after a series of villainous conducts, from both sides, Japan suicide bombed the nation to gain revenge. Schweikart and Allen elucidate that Japan’s Admiral Nagano Osami strongly favored going to war with America, for various reasons. Later, the writers of PAT render America’s motives for war to gain revenge on Japan. Zinn agrees, he also adds that the US wanted Indochina out of Japan’s rule.

Everybody has heard of the second World War. Some have family members who fought in the War, others have fought in the war. Some have studied it and some remember sitting at home hearing about it on the radio. The Nazi party walking on France and Poland. The dropping of the atomic bomb on the people of a Japanese city. The Holocaust, the slaughter of thousands of Jewish men, women, and children. The attack on Pearl Harbor. To say that World War II had tons of huge important historical events flying around it would be a massive understatement. But there were also tons of mysteries flying around at the time also. For example. Some question weather or not Franklin Deleno Roosevelt knew about the attack that took place at Pearl Harbor Hawaii so

Japans history dates back almost 53,000 years and is filled with interesting and fascinating events. Most of Japans actions have left the major world powers in the world stunned. The base of this amazing country is astonishing just by itself. The base is a bunch of active and large under water volcanoes. Japans uniqueness from the rest of the world ranges from its culture to its very interesting history to the change in government every few hundred years and their trading dilemma with petroleum and their assortment of fish that they export. Japan as a country is so very appealing and kind compared to the rest of the world its no wonder that it’s geographically separate from the rest of the world.

Robert Leckie’s book, Okinawa: The Last Battle of World War II, is entirely about one of World War II’s most brutally fought battles. On April 1, 1945, the U.S. invaded Japan, attacking the island of Okinawa with 540,000 U.S. Army and Marines, and 1,600 ships. “ L Day” was the official name for this day. The L stood for “Landing,” but the Americans who invaded the Hagushi Beaches that day without any trouble from the Japanese, called it “Love Day.” This battle was the last battle of World War II and lasted a whopping eighty-three days. This invasion greatly outnumbered D-Day in weapons and in men.

      Due to the effects of urbanization and industry, the amount of land available for agriculture is rapidly reducing. Of the total land area of 792,607 hectares for Negros Occidental (the Philippines) the Alienable and Disposable (A & D) areas covers 68.17 percent 0r 540,350.13 hectares. Classified Forest Land occupies 31.83 percent ( 252,256.53 hectares). Cropland makes up most of which is considered Alienable and Disposable. This includes the residential, commercial and institutional areas as well as agricultural lands. Fish ponds are also found in this area occupying an area of 9,333.14 hectares. Zoning and land use plans have been put into place to regulate the development of communities ensuring that the distribution of land is properly allocated so that it is not in incompatible use. Despite these measures, many farmers are very poor. The average size of an individual farm in the Philippines is 1.5. hectares. Small farms can only produce enough for subsistence purposes.
