Answer:

Explanation:

"As a result of the interview … my family name was reduced to No. 13660. I was given several tags bearing the family number, and was then dismissed."

After the events of the Japanese attack on a US military shipyards and airfields at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The American government believed that there were spies among the Japanese communities in America.

As at that time, there were about 93,000 Japanese in California and for easy identification the American military resorted to giving name tags to identify family names. The Okubo family got 13,660.

The statement above was as a result of the way Mine Okubo felt about the treatment her family got post-pearl harbour. It was most likely a traumatizing experience for her, given the fact that her family knew nothing about the attacks and they were also Americans by virtue of the laws. They were also made to wear allegiance to a country they had given their all before the war. While being exposed to harsh weather conditions as a result of the fact that most were stripped of their homes and had to live in camps throughout those periods.

A quote:

<em>"I had the opportunity to study the human race from the cradle to the grave, and to see what happens to people when reduced to one status and one condition"</em>

The one status and one condition was the tag Citizen 13660.

She was most likely overwhelmed with sadness with the way most Japanese families were treated. An excerpt from book

<em>However, it was not long before I realized my predicament. My fellow workers were feeling sorry for me; my Caucasian friends were suggesting that I go east; my Japanese American friends were asking me what I would do if all American citizens and aliens of Japanese ancestry were evacuated. Letters from a sister in Southern California informed me that Father had been whisked away to an internment camp….  </em>

<em>The people looked at all of us, both citizens and aliens, with suspicion and mistrust.</em>

This describes just how Mine felt even before they were made to face the extreme conditions to had to face while living in horse stables or military base as well as the humiliation they passed through. Coupled with the loss of properties every single Japanese family had to face .

How did women exercise their new freedoms and increased independence after world war 1?
vladimir1956 [14]
When soldiers went away to war their jobs needed to be replaced to keep the economy stable, women were able to take this opportunity and work in factories for munitions and sewing and many other things, this was a big step in the right direction to gender equality, after WW1 people started to change their attitude and realised that women can work and can do just as good as men in some countries they were given the vote and more opportunities opened for women in different industries and they were able to make a living for themselves instead of being reliant on a husband to get money for their whole family

How did the US intervention impact the Indigenous people of<br> Guatemala?
Marianna [84]

Answer:

The US supported tactics of repression which would lead to the deaths of 200,000 civilians, and which would rekindle stark ethnic, economic, social and political divisions in society – legacies of colonialism – which the 1944-54 governments had gone a significant way to repairing. The civil war which erupted as a result of American intervention stifled Guatemala’s economic growth, put an end to its political independence, and allowed a corrupt ruling class to dominate the country for its own political and economic gain. Furthermore, the Guatemalan. And all under the auspices of maintaining ‘freedom’ in the world. The US’s goal was to contain the spread of communism in Latin America, and in this it technically succeeded. But Guatemalans paid a high price.
