The United States Government incarcerated 120,313 Japanese Americans during World War II, placing the majority of them in 10 concentration camps run by the War Relocation Authority or in other camps or centers of detention run by the Justice Department or other government agencies.

Americans of Japanese ancestry, 70 percent Americans citizens, were forced off the West Coast or parts of Hawai'i. Most had to sell their homes and businesses at great losses and some lost everything without compensation.

Under the pretext of Japanese Americans being a threat to national security, President Franklin Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, giving the War Department the authority to establish areas from which any and all persons could be excluded. In 1982, the Commission on Wartime Relocation and Internment of Civilians concluded, "Executive Order 9066 was not justified by military necessity. The broad historical causes... were race prejudice, war hysteria, and a failure of political leadership."

Tema [17]

Answer:

Yes, I agree with the argument of Sintoni's about the Vietnam war.

Explanation:

"Vietnam is a test of the American Spirit", these were the lines written by Sintoni in his last letter to his wife. Every war will be fought with not only weapons but also with the help of spirit. Spirit means courage, if you have a courage no one can defeat you in any war but if you have no courage you will lose the war even with advance weapons. So if the American has that spirit, we will win this war.

The political system during the Maya civilization was quite decentralized as there were many city-states which were governed by the rulers or heads and they were intern controlled by the kings.

The whole authority was given to the king as they believed that kings got ruled by the god will. There were no armies and the religious practises were part and parcel of the life of the people at that time.
