Tokyo Subway Terrorist Attacks

The government dealt with the public’s hysteria the best they thought they could at the time. The Roosevelt Administration thought the best way to deal with this was to put Japanese Americans in internment camps.…

Since then, the Tokyo metropolitan government served as both the prefecture government for Tokyo, as well as administering the Special wards of Tokyo, for what had previously been Tokyo City. World War II wrought widespread destruction of most of the city due to the persistent Allied air raids on Japan and the use of incendiary bombs.
