 On the morning of December 7, 1941 more than

180 Japanese warplanes attacked the American
naval base of Pearl Harbor
In less than two hours 2,403 Americans were
killed and 1,178 were wounded
The damage and losses to the US Navy during
this one attack was greater than that during the
entirety of WWI

 In February 1942, just two months after Pearl Harbor,

President Roosevelt as commander-in-chief, issued
Executive Order 9066, which had the effect of relocating
all persons of Japanese ancestry, both citizens and aliens,
inland, outside of the Pacific military zone. The
objectives of the order were to prevent espionage and to
protect persons of Japanese descent from harm at the
hands of Americans who had strong anti-Japanese
attitudes.

Japanese- American
Internment Camps

 Roosevelt's order affected 117,000 people of Japanese

descent, two-thirds of whom were native-born citizens of
the United States.
"If we were put there for our protection, why were the
guns at the guard towers pointed inward, instead of
outward?"
