Japanese Internment (Blog #36)

WWII, The Home Front (Blog #35)

Although World War II was fought on the battlefields of Europe, Asia, and North Africa, American farms and factories also helped win the war. As the United States mobilized its resources for combat, the entertainment industry helped sustain morale. For Japanese Americans the war resulted in confinement in remote camps. For African Americans, Mexican Americans, and women, the conflict brought both new opportunities and reminders that discrimination and inequality still existed in American society. (p. 407, 16.2)

Your Assignment:

1.) How did the United States mobilize for war?
2.) Why were Japanese Americans interned during the war?
