cing

Pearl Harbor
Just before 8 a.m. on December 7, 1941, hundreds of Japanese fighter planes atta
cked the American naval base at Pearl Harbor near Honolulu, Hawaii.
The barrage lasted just two hours, but it was devastating: The Japanese managed
to destroy nearly 20 American naval vessels, including eight enormous battleship
s,
and more than 300 airplanes. More than 2,000 Americans soldiers and sailors die
d in the attack, and another 1,000 were wounded. The day after the assault, Pres
ident
Franklin D. Roosevelt asked Congress to declare war on Japan; Congress approved
his declaration with just one dissenting vote. Three days later, Japanese allies
Germany a
nd Italy also declared war on the United States, and again Congress reciprocated
. More than two years into the conflict, America had finally joined World War II

Japanese Internment Camps Similar to the Red Scare in WWI, many Americans feared
Japanese Americans were a threat to American safety. 110,000 Japanese-Americans
were forced into these camps because the US feared that they might act as sabot
eurs for Japan in case of invasion. The camps deprived the Japanese-Americans
of basic rights, and the internees lost hundreds of millions of dollars in prope
rty. In the Supreme Court ruling in Korematsu v. U.S. (1944), the Supreme
Court upheld the constitutionality of the concentration camps.
