    In 1942 many Japanese Americans were faced with a problem that most Americans will never experience. They were ripped of their American lives and rights and placed in Internment camps. President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 that was put in place "to prescribe military areas in such places and of such extent as he or the appropriate Military Commander may determine from which any or all persons may be excluded."

Japanese militarism escalated further during the 1930s, leading to what many consider to be the height of the Japanese military state: The Second World War.…
