American History: WW2 and Japanese Internment Camps. They Were Successful in Preventing Sabotage and Espionage.

People often say that rounding up American Citizens who were of Japanese Descent and putting them all in jail WAS A BAD IDEA.

We certainly cannot know if Japanese People who were US Citizens would have actually committed Sabotage or Helped the Country of Japan Win World War Two but JUST TO BE SAFE the US Government rounded them up and jailed them in Prison Camps in California... 117,000 People...

We won the War and released the Prisoners...

We did NOT imprison people of German Descent... That might have been a good idea...

"Japanese internment camps were established during World War II by President Franklin Roosevelt through his Executive Order 9066. From 1942 to 1945, it was the policy of the U.S. government that people of Japanese descent would be interred in isolated camps. Enacted in reaction to Pearl Harbor and the ensuing war, the Japanese internment camps are now considered one of the most atrocious violations of American civil rights in the 20th century."

That's the Official History... on History Dot Com... BUT, ARE THEY RIGHT?

"Canada soon followed suit, relocating 21,000 of its Japanese residents from its west coast. Mexico enacted its own version, and eventually 2,264 more people of Japanese descent were removed from Peru, Brazil, Chile and Argentina to the United States."

Some People say that the Atomic Bombing of JAPAN was a bad idea... 
Really, I'm not making this up.

an interesting Science Fiction Book explores the theme of What IF Japan had won the war... 

At significant branches in the story, the main character Throws the I Ching in order to decide what to do... Philip Dick actually Threw the I Ching himself to assist him in plot decisions... Depending on fate, it might have been a completely different book...
