Answer:
In Hawaii, only 1% of Japanese Americans were interned, as opposed to <u>90%</u> on the mainland.
Explanation:
After the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, more than a hundred thousand Japanese Americans were interned in concentration camps in the continental United States.
These Japanese internment camps were established in 1942 by Franklin Roosevelt and lasted until 1945. It was government policy that almost anyone with Japanese descent should be sent to these camps.
The Executive Order 9066 issued by Roosevelt theoretically tried to prevent espionage on American forces. In practice, it created military zones in Washington, Oregon, and California where Japanese Americans were interned. This impacted around 117.000 people.
Answer:
Upon seeing Perry's fleet sailing into their harbor, the Japanese called them the "black ships of evil mien (appearance)." Many leaders wanted the foreigners expelled from the country, but in 1854 a treaty was signed between the United States and Japan which allowed trade at two ports.

One famous speculation about the impact of China’s geography comes from Jared Diamond’s book Guns, Germs, and Steel.Diamond says that China’s geography initially helped the country. He says (on p. 414) that China’s heartland did not have many barriers to break it up. Its two major river valleys were easily connected. This allowed the civilization of the north to interact with the civilization of the south. The two civilizations could share ideas and strengthen one another. This, Diamond says, helped China become a very strong and advanced country by the early 1400s. At that point, it was more developed than European countries were. Thus, its geography helped it by allowing it to become a unified civilization very quickly.However, Diamond says that this geography then caused China to lose its lead over Europe. Because China was so geographically interconnected, it was able to become one unified country instead of being many small countries as existed in Western Europe. In Europe, the countries competed with one another and forced each other to develop. In China, there was only one country and there was no competition. This meant that China did not have to keep progressing. It could stagnate in terms of technology without being conquered by other neighboring countries. Because China was united and unchallenged, it did not have to get stronger. In this way, Diamond says, its geography, which had once helped it rise, also helped make it fall.
