The trend of Japanese immigration to the United States

When you come to Hawaii and see Japanese shops on the street, you will feel that you have come to the wrong place. The youngest state in the United States, 3900 kilometers away from the mainland, why are there Japanese everywhere?

The first is population transfer, which can be roughly described as colonization and immigration. At the beginning, there were not so many people in the United States to develop this aspect. What are we doing? Recruiting people! I went all over Asia to recruit people, many of whom were Japanese. These people were the first immigrants in Hawaii. They took the trouble to come here. They sweated in the plantation in exchange for a little improvement in their lives. This is the life portrayal of the first generation of Japanese immigrants.

The second is that Hawaii is closest to Japan, and many Japanese are willing to come here. Japan also belongs to an island country. What they do here is a series of business, which is no different from their own land. Therefore, many Japanese came to live here, and in a period of time, the Japanese accounted for nearly 40% of the total. So there are so many Japanese in Hawaii. Do you think Hawaii belongs to Japan?

The third is Hawaii. At that time, the national sovereignty consciousness was weak and it was easy to be captured. Before the Battle of Pearl Harbor, Japan had begun to emigrate to the past, some for business and some for purpose, because Hawaii planned to occupy Hawaii when its sovereignty was not so strong at that time in order to further expand its territory. As a result, after the Battle of Hawaii, there was a fierce rebound. However, many Japanese still live there, which is also a reason for the large number.
