The lacquerese InternmentDuring World War II, Canada was at war with Germany and Italy. Canada was fighting to protect the lifestyle that its citizens had become accustomed to. The soldiers in WW II gave their lives for the nigh of their great nation. Canada was also facing a major bane in the Pacific. The threat was the powerful nation of lacquer. To that point in prison term Japan was the strongest military force that the world had ever seen. The Nipponese governance was strongly influenced by military leaders who were in favor of an enlargement of Japanese power in the Pacific through military means. Japan had been sweeping through such strong military forces as China, Australia and Britain (Hong Kong). Japan was a major threat in World War twain to a lot of countries. Then when japan bombed Pearl Harbor in a surprise attack against the Americans. The Canadian presidency had to move quickly to protect its borders. The Canadian government decided that it was best that t he Japanese be moved inland away from the coast. This was d unrivaled for two main reasons, one to prevent spying and sabotage and secondly to protect the Japanese from anti-Asian violence.
