Japanese American Intenment Camps------How many spies were actually discovered out of the thousands of people?
486397
Supermontage is right in that the program was not designed to catch spies, but that is the first time I have heard of the program being humanitarian or of the majority of people going willingly.\n\nPeople were forced to sell their property at drastic losses and some were forcibly sent to Japan via third countries. The conditions in the camps by most observers were said to be poor (not concentration camp poor, so please don't yell at me), and security was not good so many of the actual radical Japanese nationalists were able to intimidate people who were loyal into opposing the United States. During the war, before an agreement could be reached to bring in migrant workers from Mexico, Japanese were still required to do agricultural work for very little money, many were not even paid.\n\nI know there is a young Asian American author who is always on the Hannity program, and there are other authors who seem to be trying to bring about a new understanding of the internment period.\n\nThere was a set of camps in the Dakotas set up for internment of persons of German and Italian descent, but custody was extended to only those who were still foreign nationals (not resident aliens or citizens) or those who had actively taken part in anti-American activities (leaders of the German American Bund, etc)

130,000\n\nThis is a semi-scientific answer.  I'm sure it's probably in the ballpark but I just gave it a guess on my own without looking up any official data.

I used to live in Japan and I have been to Hiroshima. As horrible as it was I really think the bombs saved lives on both sides. I have met older Japanese who have told me about being trained to repel the invasion with bamboo spears as children. Even after Nagasaki an anti-surrender faction attempted a coup. A blockade might have been an alternative strategy but then a lot of Japanese would have starved to death. Don't forget that there were POWs and civilian internees that were dieing from disease and starvation at the time in Japanese camps. Truman's first responsibilty was to bring the war to it's earliest possible conclusion.

The exact number of people killed by the Nazi regime may never be known, but scholars, using a variety of methods of determining the death toll, have generally agreed upon common range of the number of victims. Recently declassified British and Soviet documents have indicated the total may be somewhat higher than previously believed[20]. However, the following estimates are considered to be highly reliable. The estimates:\n\n5.1–6.0 million Jews, including 3.0–3.5 million Polish Jews\n1.8 –1.9 million non-Jewish Poles (includes all those killed in executions or those that died in prisons, labor, and concentration camps, as well as civilians killed in the 1939 invasion and the 1944 Warsaw Uprising) \n500,000–1.2 million Serbs killed by Croat Nazis \n200,000–800,000 Roma & Sinti \n200,000–300,000 people with disabilities \n80,000–200,000 Freemasons [23] \n100,000 communists \n10,000–25,000 homosexual men \n2,000 Jehovah's Witnesses \nRaul Hilberg, in the third edition of his ground-breaking three-volume work, The Destruction of the European Jews, estimates that 5.1 million Jews died during the Holocaust. This figure includes "over 800,000" who died from "Ghettoization and general privation;" 1,400,000 who were killed in "Open-air shootings;" and "up to 2,900,000" who perished in camps. Hilberg estimates the death toll in Poland at "up to 3,000,000."[24] Hilberg's numbers are generally considered to be a conservative estimate, as they generally include only those deaths for which some records are available, avoiding statistical adjustment.[25] British historian Martin Gilbert used a similar approach in his Atlas of the Holocaust, but arrived at a number of 5.75 million Jewish victims, since he estimated higher numbers of Jews killed in Russia and other locations.[26]\n\n \nMap titled "Jewish Executions Carried Out by Einsatzgruppe A" from the December 1941 Jäger Report by the commander of a Nazi death squad. Marked "Secret Reich Matter," the map shows the number of Jews shot in the Baltic region, and reads at the bottom: "the estimated number of Jews still on hand is 128,000". Estonia is marked as judenfrei ("free of Jews").Lucy Davidowicz used pre-war census figures to estimate that 5.934 million Jews died. Using official census counts may cause an underestimate since many births and deaths were not recorded in small towns and villages. Another reason some consider her estimate too low is that many records were destroyed during the war. Her listing of deaths by country is available in the article about her book, The War Against the Jews.[27]\n\nOne of the most authoritative German scholars of the Holocaust, Prof. Wolfgang Benz of the Technical University of Berlin, cites between 5.3 and 6.2 million Jews killed in Dimension des Volksmords (1991), while Yisrael Gutman and Robert Rozett estimate between 5.59 and 5.86 million Jewish victims in their Encyclopedia of the Holocaust (1990).[28]\n\nThe following groups of people were also killed by the Nazi regime, but there is little evidence that the Nazis planned to systematically target them for genocide as was the case for the groups above.\n\n3.5–6 million other Slavic civilians \n2.5–4 million Soviet POWs \n1–1.5 million political dissidents \nAdditionally, the Nazis' allies, the Ustaša regime in Croatia conducted its own campaign of mass extermination against the Serbs in the areas which it controlled, resulting in the deaths of at least 330,000–390,000 Serbs.\n\nmore info:

Just to clarify for the other answerers, he/she is referring to the internment camps that the US used to detain thousands of Japanese-Americans during WWII.  They did'nt "free themselves."  They were released.  Korematsu v. United States made this internment constitutional.

Unit 731 was located at the POW camp in Tientsin, China. Horrendous experiments, including vivesection on unanaesthized prisoners, were performed. The unit's primary mission was biological weapons development. Most of the victims of this program were Chinese prisoners; however, there is much to suggest that American POW's held in the camp were also experimented on. \n\nAfter the war, many of the doctors at Unit 731, men who were every bit as guilty of evil as Mengele, escaped prosecution for war crimes by agreeing to help the US start its biological weapons program. So, just as Werner Von Braun, the Nazi scientist who was responsible for the deaths of at least 300,000 British due to his creation, the V-2 missle, escaped prosecution to jumpstart America's missile development and ultimately to become the father of NASA; so too then, Dr. Ishii, the leader of Unit 731, a man who is responsible for the deaths of a few hundred thousand Chinese prisoners and a few thousand American POW's, not to mention permanently contaminating regions of China that to this day have drug-resistant superstrains of plague and other diseases...Dr. Ishii escaped justice with the help of the US to help jumpstart the American biological weapons program. And, to this day, the Japanese still honour the memorial erected in Dr. Ishii's memory.

The actual numbers were 34 dead and 173 wounded, or a total of 70% of the crew.  The Liberty was our newest "Intelligence" ship.  (clue)  This investigation was squashed and deemed classified by the Johnson Administration 39 years ago.  There are veteran groups out there today still trying to get  satisfaction on this issue. So in answer to your question,  essentially nothing was done except a whole lot of sweeping under the rug.

That's imposible to count. Lots of families do their own Easter egg hunts but there's no place that documents the amount of people that do it.

Are you kidding?\nThis is the way I see it: There were 300,000 deaths right after Americans dropped those nukes. If those bombs hadn't been dropped Japanese casualties would be numbered by millions, and American casualties by hundreds of thousands.\nSo by doing what was done - Americans actually saved lives, and changed a whole Japanese nation to better.\n\nProve me wrong.

In Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia citizens were urged to spy on each other.  Children were told to inform on their parents.  This sounds like the same thing.\nAMERIKA ERWACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

During the Second Sino Japanese War (from 7th July 1937 till 9th September 1945),\n\nLocation:  China  \n\nThe number of Casualties :\nChina -  3,200,000 military,17,530,000 civilians  = 20.73 million\nJapan -  1,100,000 military = 1.1million\n\nPlus, the war created 95 million refugees in China\n\nThe Japanese recorded around 1.1 million military casualties, killed, wounded and missing. There were a lot of various claims about the Japanese casualties. The official death-toll according to the Japan defense ministry was only about 200 thousand. But this is believed to be highly unlikely-- the number is far too small. The Chinese (both the communists and nationalists) claimed to have at most killed 1.77 million of Japanese soldiers during the 8-year-war but it would be an exaggeration (copy from below first website)\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Japanese_War_(1937-1945)\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_East_Asia_War_in_the_Pacific

That happened during WWII when they were put in Interment Camps. Most was interigated, some were beaten. The United States thought that since the Japanese attacked us, every Japanes must be bad. We later found out that we were wrong. Now, the Asian community contributes a great deal to this country, and economy.

-Many Japanese were put into internment camps in the main land U.S but there were no internment camps in Hawaii, which half of the population then was Japenese.\n-The name given to the secret project of building an atomic bomb was "The Manhatten Project."\n-The name of the plane that dropped the first bomb was "The Enola Gay."\n-The Japanese also held Americans in internment camps mostly in China.
