After Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, did the Japanese in the United States suffer crazy retaliation?

War is an extension of politics and a means for great powers to carve up the world, but the ultimate victim of war is the people. 194165438+On February 7th, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, an important American military port, without declaring war on the United States. Although the anti-war sentiment of the American people was very high at that time, as soon as there was a problem with Japan, Japan immediately became an enemy in the eyes of Americans. The first unlucky one was the Japanese who immigrated to the United States.

The day after Pearl Harbor, the United States launched a retaliatory action against the Japanese in the United States. First of all, the government announced that all Japanese in the United States, whether they are overseas Chinese in Japan, immigrants, Japanese staying in the United States temporarily, or even Japanese nationals, are regarded as people suspected of "espionage." 1942 19 In February, President Roosevelt signed a decree ordering the US military to build settlements for the Japanese in special places. At the same time, all the social benefits of Japanese in the United States were forcibly cancelled, Japanese expatriates who used to make a living by fishing were banned from going out to sea to fish, and all American companies began to fire Japanese.

At the beginning of March, Law1942,9066 came into effect, and about 1 10000 Japanese living in the United States began to be forcibly moved to resettlement sites. All their private property, bank deposits, securities, etc. Confiscated unconditionally, each person can only carry about 70 kilograms of clothes. The names of all overseas Chinese in Japan are no longer valid, but are replaced by a code name given to them by the US government. In the process of resettlement, these people should undergo various inspections at any time. Some American soldiers and staff deliberately made things difficult for discrimination against the Japanese, and all demands made by overseas Chinese in Japan were invalid.

In addition, the living conditions provided by the government are very poor. Americans built a row of temporary houses with a row length less than 10 meter. Every row of houses has public toilets and canteens. As for bathing and other activities, there is no special place at all, so Japanese overseas Chinese can only solve it in the open air. In order to prevent Japanese overseas Chinese from fleeing the settlements, these settlements are surrounded by several layers of electrified barbed wire. At night, searchlights will illuminate the settlement as bright as day, and the living conditions are no different from those of the concentration camps where war criminals live. It can be said that these Japanese have completely lost their human rights in the United States.
