The Japanese Internment
What does Internment mean?
It means people are put into camps.
I found myself wondering how would be like to be a Japanese during 1914, when the Japanese were interned. The feelings they must've had would be either, shocked, scared, or even misunderstood why they would do something so cruel, just over how they looked, and the stereotype about them like, they were stealing, and invading people's homes', and they were also afraid that they were stealing their jobs. Also some of the Japanese were thinking that they were just interning them because they wanted their land, and they were jealous, but that wasn't the reason they did, they interned them into camps, because of the mishap in world war 2, and there were a few Japanese-Canadians, in Canada, they still didn't trust them, so they thought that they were working for the government, in Japan, so they rounded them all up, and interned them to internment camps. In the internment camps, there were no running water, no electricity, and it was very rustic. Also during world war II, many Japanese Canadians were put into internment camps. The Japanese first launched an attack on pearl harbor, December 7, 1941, in Hawaii. ( get more information on "Attack on Pearl Harbor") The Japanese were surprisingly treated more harsh, in Canada, than in America. The Japanese community was finally destroyed on year after the interment, 1942.
