7 April 2014 Japanese War During the Japanese War in 1941, there were a lot of Japanese people that suffered and died. It was a very harsh time for the U.S but a lot more for the Japanese. In a couple of movies that were made from this time period, brought all the instincts of how the Japanese were treated and how they were pulled away from their families. The United States congress was the one that declared war to Japan in response of the Pearl Harbor attack. A lot of Japanese people were treated poorly because of all the power the United States Congress had against the Japanese Empire. Japanese people would sacrifice themselves to save their family and they would go fight in the war that was caused by the Pearl Harbor attack. Japanese people would walk miles and miles to get food; this war was so bad that a lot of people ended up dying of diseases and starvation and even from sacrifices that they had made for their country. This war of Japan and the U.S led Germany and Italy to go against the U.S as well because Japan was their alleles. When Germany and Italy got against the U.S as well, it created World War 2. When World War 2 started it all became a disaster for the Japanese and specially the U.S. A lot of people died for many reasons and there were just a lot of conflicts in between the Ferreyra 2 governments. What was sadder to me was the fact that a lot of Japanese walked miles and miles barefoot without food and some wouldn’t even make it back to their family after the U.S kept killing in their area of where they were at. Japanese families would not eat for a lot of days, according to the movie we saw in class. People would trade a lot of their materials for food or warm clothes or just things that were really needed. In the U.S a lot of things were also traded but there was a lot more trade in the Japanese Empire. The Japan Empire had a lot of

    Japan’s cultural and political structure changed from being a weak isolated nation to a modern imperialist country. Before Japan westernized, it was under the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate. This was an agricultural economy with a population of 13 billion. Japan did not associate with any other country because they believed foreign influence was a destabilizing factor. This resulted in overcrowded farms and scarce minerals. In 1853, Commodore Perry came to japan with his big black ships. The technological advancements of the ships shocked the japanese. They ended isolationism and opened trade ports in order to avoid destruction. Failure of success, in 1868 the Tokugawa shogun was overthrown and emperor Meiji had complete power. During this time, Japan was very decentralized. There were several semi-independent feudal lords. The emperor saw how Japan was at a great disadvantage from being in isolation for so many years. He knew that in order to strengthen Japan, change was needed. This resulted in the Meiji Restoration. By 1912…

    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…

    Mainly, the Japanese-Americans and anyone that resembled Japanese culture were affected by the reactions of other American citizens. First, the American Japanese's privacy and rights were basically taken away from them. They were constantly watched by investigators, phone wires were tapped, and even mail and interactions amongst one another were being watched upon. Suspicion led one accusation to another. The Japanese immigrants or citizens were all taken from their homes and they were told "they were being moved into a safer environment." That was a great misleading deception. These "safer environments" were nothing more than Japanese American Relocation Camps. Amongst these people were wealthy Japanese that were stripped of their high professions, land, homes, and possessions. They were forced to move to camps in the Southwestern United States. About 120,000 innocent people were sent to these horrible camps just because they were Japanese or had any traceable amount of Japanese in them. After 9/11 we didn't send Middle Eastern people or anyone with Middle Eastern decent into relocation camps. Was this a right act? Most Japanese before relocation were small landowners in California and alone produced 35% of California's crop production. They had a great population in the western coast. Their land then was seized and sold to white…

    Transport was slow and difficult, so production was mostly local. Competitive prices in the marketplace only led to reduced incomes resulting in lower quality goods and services which benefited no one. Craftsmen formed unions to protect their trade by enforcing fixed prices. The indoctrination of Japanese military personnel to have little respect for the act of surrendering led to conduct which Allied soldiers found deceptive. During the Pacific War, there were incidents where Japanese soldiers feigned surrender in order to lure Allied troops into ambushes. In addition, wounded Japanese soldiers sometimes tried to use hand grenades to kill Allied troops attempting to assist them. The Japans social and political circumstance’s is different from the age of the plunder in this United States. In some areas that the Japans forsake, there changing of the economic beliefs that they overpower the people in Japan, rather to help them make Japan a better country as for the Europeans in the United States are trying to make our country a better place to live with better jobs, food supply, and less war in other countries. I do believe Japan would rather keep having war with the United States…

About 2,403 sailors, soldiers and civilians were killed and about 1,000 people were wounded. After that the U.S could no longer trust Japan for many reasons they decided to fight back with…
