Korematsu v. united states cause and effect

History

Answer:

After Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, the president of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt, issued executive order 9066 by which, in order to avoid sabotage and espionage actions, he authorized the Armed Forces to remove people that it considers convenient of sensitive areas of the country and to transfer them to detention centers.

Fred Korematsu, a 23-year-old boy born in Oakland (California) of a Japanese father, decided to challenge the detention order and carry on his life as a US citizen, for which he even performed a small plastic surgery operation to modify his physical appearance and look a little less Japanese.

Despite this, the young man was arrested in May 1942 and prosecuted for violating executive order 9066, for which he was sentenced to a five-year probationary period and then sent with his family to one of these internment camps in Utah.

With the help of lawyers from the United States Civil Liberties Union, Korematsu took his case to the Supreme Court on the grounds that his sentence was discriminatory and contrary to the freedoms enshrined in the Constitution.

However, in December 1944, the high court agreed in a split decision 6 to 3 that his detention was not an act of racism and was justified by the Armed Forces' remarks that Japanese-born Americans were prone to disloyalty and they were helping enemy ships from the coast through the emission of radio signals.

The Court considered that the detention of persons of Japanese origin was a national security measure taken amid the emergency caused by the war.

In one of the three dissenting opinions, Judge Robert Jackson questioned the absence of evidence that justified the confinement of these citizens.

"The Court has forever validated the principle of racial discrimination," he said. "That principle now remains as a loaded weapon, ready in the hands of any authority that can present a credible argument of urgent need."

Effect: Korematsu v. United States was a Supreme Court case that was decided on December 18, 1944, at the end of World War II. It involved the legality of Executive Order 9066, which ordered many Japanese-Americans to be placed in internment camps during the war.


About 10 weeks after the U.S. entered World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 19, 1942 signed Executive Order 9066. The order authorized the Secretary of War and the armed forces to remove people of Japanese ancestry from what they designated as military areas and surrounding communities in the United States. These areas were legally off limits to Japanese aliens and Japanese-American citizens.

The order set in motion the mass transportation and relocation of more than 120,000 Japanese people to sites the government called detention camps that were set up and occupied in about 14 weeks.

Which is the correct order of events that occured after Austria-hungary declared war on serbia?
Alex777 [14]

Answer:  Russia mobilized its forces, prompting Germany to declare a two-front war against Russia and France.


More details:

Various systems of alliances were put in place before World War I.  The two main alliance systems were the Triple Entente, which had Britain, France and Russia as allies, and the Triple Alliance, which had Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy as allies.  There were also other alliances, such as Russia taking on recently independent Serbia as an ally, as both had ethnic Slavic populations.

So here's how the start of World War I happened. When the Austrian prince and his wife were assassinated in Serbia, the Austrian government threatened the nation of Serbia with retaliatory action (even though the assassination was carried out by a terrorist group, not the Serbian government). Russia responded to Austria's threat, because Russia was bound to protect its Slavic ally, Serbia. Germany responded to the mobilization of Russian troops, and when Germany declared war on Russia in 1914, they implemented a military plan (the Schlieffen Plan), which assumed war would mean they'd have to take on all members of the Triple Entente alliance.  So as soon as Germany declared war on Russia, they sent troops to go attack France.  That pulled France and Britain into the war immediately as well, and the war spread and became a global conflict.
