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."

Having a ziggurat signified that a Sumerian city was?<br>​
Tpy6a [65]

<u>Answer:</u>

A Sumerian city was deemed as geographically large and politically important if it had a ziggurat.

<u>Explanation: </u>

  • In ancient times, the administrative buildings and the places of worship in the city determined the significance of the cities.
  • In the Mesopotamian civilization, a special structure called ziggurat was build to serve as the heightened platform to dispense ease while talking to God.
  • The people then believed that God lives in the skies and in order to make him listen to the prayers, it is better to go a little closer to him by climbing up to tall places.
