Before The War • There was about 23,000 Canadians of Japanese ancestry located in British Columbia. • Japanese men between the age of 18-45 were evacuated to camps at Canada. • They have lived their lives as immigrants. • Japanese Canadian civilians agreed to limit their immigration to 150 people per year. • Before the war the Japanese civilians were given the opportunity to either stick with their families, and move out or to get involved in isolated camps.
Japanese Peruvians/ Brazilians • The Japanese began immigrating to Peru in the 1800’s. • Most of them worked as farmers and the rest worked as business owners and entrepreneurs. • Lived in isolation. • Discriminated by Peruvians. • The Peruvian government amended immigration quotas and regulations to keep the Japanese from immigrating to Peru. • Because of the immigration and quotas and regulations, riots broke out and caused many Japanese homes and businesses to be destroyed and forced some Japanese to go back to Japan. • Brazil entered the war in 1942 at the time there were 200,000 Japanese Brazilians.
During The War • During the war the Japanese Canadians faced discrimination, and violence. • The Government used leftover money from Japanese Canadian’s property in order to keep the internment camps running. • Families of all races in Canada were evacuated to the six inland B.C town to relocate civilians. • Living conditions were very poor. Although Japanese ships sent supplemental food to the starving civilians.
As soon as the war started,there were a number of punitive restrictions put onto the Japanese community. • Japanese Brazilians could not travel the country without permission. • Japanese Americans were not allowed to drive cars and drivers employed by Japanese Brazilians had to have permission from the police. • In July 1943, there were large numbers of Japanese (and German) immigrants that were removed from the Brazilian coast.
After The War • 22,000 Japanese Canadians were still located at the international camps. • Japanese Canadians still faced racism after the war. The Canadian’s were showing repatriation towards the Japanese Civilians, due to how the cabinet passed because of the counselors. • About 4,000 Japanese Canadians were deported to Japan. • They were treated harshly due to how The Empire of Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. • After the war the Japanese regained their own privileges. • Brian Mulroney apologized to the Japanese Canadian’s after the war ended in 1949. Including a payment of $21,000 to every Japanese Canadian.
The Peruvian government didn’t want the Japanese Peruvians to return. • The American Government didn’t want them either. • The American government decided to send some of them back to Japan or Peru and some of the Japanese were able to stay in different parts of the U.S.
