This pod cast is to help you with your regents and the understanding of world war II. First I am going to talk about How the United States entered the war. The United States refused to fight in the war between Germany and the European countries.  So The united states passed the Neutrality Act in 1936. The neutrality act was to keep the united states out of the world war. In 1941 the U.S was attacked by the Japanese navy at pearl harbor. Because of this attack this caused the United States to be directly involved in the war in world war 2. Some other acts that led to the Acts that drew the US closer into WWII: Cash and Carry policy “Destroyers for Bases” Deal  Lend Lease Act Now I am going to talk about How the Japanese American’s were affected by this. The government of the united states believed that Japanese American’s were  of planning to help Japan by attacking the U. S again.  Japanese Americans were forced to leave their homes, jobs and property to relocate into camps till the end of the war. Now I am going to talk about the Supreme Court case of Korematsu vs US In the case of Korematsu vs. U.S (1944) Fred Korematsu, a Japanese American, refused to leave his home as ordered by the U.S government. The Court ruled in favor the U.S and that the forced evacuation was a reasonable wartime emergency measure. Fred’s civil liberties could be limited because of the war.  This case showed that during wars it is OK to limit civil liberties.
