1. What Caused congress to create a commission to examine the government's actions towards Japanese Americans during World War I

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

1. Intense pressure by the Japanese-American Citizens league and redress organization caused the President Jimmy Carter led administration to form a commission to investigate the Internment of the Japanese Americans in 1942.

2. The commission examined the reason for the exclusion and the justification for it. They found that the reasons for exclusion was based on racial prejudice and fear and the justification for internment was baseless.

Explanation:

After the aerial attack of the Pearl Harbor in 1941 by the Japanese government, the U.S Department of War started nurturing suspicions of the Japanese-Americans and therefore sought the Internment of these people. The U.S Department of Justice debated this move as they believed that this decision would result in trampling of the rights of the citizens. President Franklin Roosevelt signed the Executive Order 9066 which saw the actualization of the Internment of Japanese-Americans.

When President Gerald R. Ford realized the injustice meted on this group of people in the year, 1976, he repealed the Executive Order 9066 and in 1980, under President Jimmy Cater, a commission was launched to examine the reasons for the Internment. The commission found that the justification given for the decision of Internment was baseless, because the move was borne from fear and racial prejudice.
