Question

All of the following explanations were used to justify Japanese internment except

a. Fear of another Japanese attack on the West Coast
b. Preventing spying by Japanese Americans
c. Protecting people of Japanese descent from violence
d. Enlisting Japanese Americans in military service

Answer 1

The only explanation not used to justify Japanese internment was the enlisting of Japanese Americans in military service; the internment was justified by fears of attacks and spying, and the desire to protect Japanese Americans from violence.

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the following explanations were used to justify Japanese internment except enlisting Japanese Americans in military service. Justifications for the internment during World War II included fear of another Japanese attack on the West Coast, preventing spying by Japanese Americans, and protecting people of Japanese descent from violence. However, the internment policy did not serve as a justification to enlist Japanese Americans in military service. Instead, the policy led to the uprooting and mandatory detainment of over 110,000 individuals of Japanese descent from their homes into internment camps. Notably, many people of Japanese ancestry, despite the discrimination and injustice they faced, still served valiantly in the U.S. military during the war.
