Japanese Hatred During Ww2
After Pearl Harbor, the United States and Japan didn’t get along, war in the Pacific erupted and disagreements flourished. For very important reasons of course, neither would go down without a fight and defending their country was important. But, during World War II, the United States wasn’t the only country hated by the Japanese. Especially during World War II, the Japanese didn’t really like anyone, their belief was based off of, they were superior and just better than everyone else. But their main targets for hatred was toward certain ethnic groups like the Chinese, the Koreans, and the Americans. Of course they did target other groups when invading and taking control. The Japanese liked the United States for somethings as well, mostly because

    Following the close of World War II, The United States made thoughtful strides to lock Japan confidentially within its scope of influence and power. The true risk for the U.S. in post-Cold War was “armed impotence” (www.foreignaffairs.com). The U.S. guided Japanese reconstruction plans that focused on democracy and anti-Communism. The campaigns encouraged cultivation of land reorganization, establishment of self-governing trade unions, elimination of arranged marriages, granting the woman’s right to vote, extensive demilitarization, and ultimately a lawful democracy that opposed war and band Communism as a whole. The establishment of this relationship with Japan would prove to be beneficial to both nations. (Faragher, Page 701) (Fukuyama, et al)…

    On the seventh of December in the year 1941, the American naval base was attacked by Japanese fighter planes. Following the death of over two-thousand American soldiers and sailors, Franklin D. Roosevelt declared war upon Japan. After decades of conflict with Japan the United States became another country to be officially involved in World War II. One of the main reasons for tension with the country of Japan is the contrasting styles of dealing with Japan’s neighbor country China, Which was in war with Japan since 1937. At the time of Pearl Harbor, American troops were not expecting an attack from Japan, let alone so close to home (History.com Staff par. 1-3). This major attack on United States soil was a very crucial part to World War II as it initially got the U.S. involved in the midst of the conflict.During an Interview with Scholastic, witnesses Hubert Gano and his wife Margaret Ellen Gano replayed the events that transpired. “ A very loud explosion rattled our windows.” “We rushed outside to see a string of airplanes in a shallow dive toward the ships at the end of our peninsula.” “We could see red anti-aircraft tracer shells floating up toward the lead aircraft.” “I could see the "Rising-Sun" emblem that decorated the side of the aircraft which identified them as Japanese.” over two years after Pearl Harbor occurred, the United States put a stop to World War II (History.com Staff par.…

    Like the Nazis, American also used forms of propaganda against the Japanese during World War II. One of the main propaganda techniques used was Name-Calling. Very similar to the Nazis, in many news and posters the Japanese were referred to as “Japs” which is very demeaning and extremely inappropriate. Calling them “Japs” gave America power so to speak. Using that word made it easier for Americans to insult or make fun of the Japanese…

    The Japanese were trained from a young age to be militaristic, playing with objects that promoted violence, and were taught that Japan is to be a supreme power and that all others were inferior. Japanese culture dictated how Japanese soldiers were to act, leading to honor suicides and kamikaze attacks. There were few Japanese POWs during the war because the majority would kill themselves before being captured. Japanese viewed Americans as weak and immoral because they did not follow the same honor code. The Japanese dehumanized Americans just as Americans were dehumanizing them. Japanese soldiers were noted for beheading Allied troops, looting homes, and practicing forced labor. These were all justified by their idea that any non-Japanese were subhuman and that they should be treated as such. The Japanese leaders were able to have total obedience to their command and total allegiance to their country from their…

    December 7th, the Japanese surprise attacked the U.S. Navy Base at Pearl Harbor. This brought the U.S. into WW2. The Japanese attacked with 49 bombers, 40 torpedo planes, 51 dive-bombers, and 43 fighter aircrafts. After the first wave (6:00am- 7:55am) there was a second wave of attack until 9:45am. After the bombing, Japanese Americans were profiled for their race and put into camps. Janet Daijogo was born in California and during 5 to 8 years old, her whole family was taken from their home and moved to camp Topaz. She was too little to understand the injustice and still endures cultural confusion. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, Americans suspected anyone who was of the Japanese race just because of the way they look. Americans were scared they’d have allegiances with their heritage and home country. Overall, Janet Daijogo and many other Japanese Americans were targeted only because of their heritage and we feared they would try to harm “us” more.…

    “A special bulletin on the radio announced that the Japanese had mounted a surprise air attack on the U.S. Naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii” (Carnes 95). This action against the United States on December 7, 1941 by Japan cause racial prejudice and unrest in the United States. This event also lead to the making of laws that caused the creation of Japanese internment camps. The War Relocation Authority attempted to justify their actions against Japanese Americans in a couple of ways. “The action taken with respect to Japanese in this country is justifiable on the grounds of military necessity for several reasons” (Carnes 97). One reason that is stated is that “All Japanese look very much alike to a white person...” (Carnes 97).…

    After the Pearl Harbor attack, America was in a state of war. The government had to do everything in its power to insure national security, and they believed by isolating people of Japanese descent, the chances of spies roaming the country would be much less likely. Moving the Japanese into camps would “cure-all and will eliminate the danger of Japanese espionage and sabotage.” (Document 4). It was also said that FDR moved the Japanese people to internment camps to protect them. Since many believed that the attack on Pearl Harbor was the fault of the Japanese, people were willing to go to great extremes to get revenge. FDR knew that the racial prejudice was going to get out of hand, and so by moving these people to the camps, two major national problems would be solved. This idea was made clear in document 3, “The least act of sabotage might provoke angry reprisals that could easily balloon into bloody riots.” The government’s thought process was that by insuring the safety of Japanese people, as well as the safety of the nation, everybody would be…

    Although anti-Japanese and anti-Asian prejudice has been engraved in America’s very bones for decades, the main cause of Japanese American internment camps was Pearl Harbor. In December of 1941, Japan bombed the U.S fleet at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Within hours of the attack, FBI agents swept through Japanese communities in California, Oregon, Washington, and Hawaii, arresting anyone who was suspected to have had any sympathetic ties to Japan. These people were rounded up, questioned, then shipped off…
