  2. OVERVIEW • Japanese Internment camps stood for everything we did not believe in as a country but yet we had them in our country • It all happened after the bombing of pearl harbor, after that the whole country turned on them

  3. WHO • These camps were filled with over 100,000 Nisei, Issei. Japanese Americans • Nisei were Japanese born Americans, the Issei were immigrants from Japan that lived in the U.S. • The camps were not just filled with Japanese Americans, they were also filled with Italians and Germans

  4. WHERE • The camps were throughout Western America • In states such as Nevada, Arizona, and California

  5. WHEN • Japanese Internment Camps took place right after the bombing of Pearl Harbor and they lasted till the end of World War II

  6. HOW • They happened because the government and us as a country was so worried about another bombing that we didn’t know what to do • So the answer to that was too put them into camps that way c we could control them so nothing else would happen

  7. WHAT • Japanese Internment camps where a place for the government to monitor what Japanese Americans where doing and how they were doing things • They were also a place for us to control other people in our country that were on the enemies side in the war

  8. SIGNIFICANCE TO THE WAR • This was so important to the war because we as a country stand for freedom and we stand against everything Hitler is, but yet we have Internment camps in our country that take away citizens freedom that take away their rights and that’s just what Hitler did in Germany to a more extreme. So the fact we stand against something but yet we do it, that’s being a hypocrite and its very wrong!!!!!
