, the japanese switched to the strategic defensive not only in burma, but also for the entire southeast asia area. and after they had done this, they were making this transition, while they were making this transition, the southern expeditionary army command which was in charge of all of the army units in southeast asia came up with a proposal to continue the offensive into india, into northeast india. the purpose of this operation to be to cut that airlift, to interdict the airlift that was going over the himalayas and do this while the japanese still had the initiative. this proposal offensive out of burma into india was proposed by the army general staff. and the reason they opposed it was basically the army after they had completed what they called the southern operations or the occupation of southeast asia, the army general staff wanted to shift to strategic defensive for the entire area, draw some of their forces down and refocus on the on going war in china and get back to their preparations for war against the soviet union, which was their traditional hypothetical enemy. so they were

in the uncertain weeks after pearl harbor as japanese forces expanded across the pacific and southeast asia, many americans specifically those on the southeast coast saw danger in every corner. these wartime fears lead to a great injustice. early in 1942, civilian and military leaders on the west coast complained that members of the large japanese american community might be working with the japanese military to plan acts of sabotage. they pushed the roosevelt administration for action. on february 19th, 1942, fdr issued executive order 9066 that lead to the relocation of 110,000 japanese americans living on the west coast. they were confined to camps operated by the military. many lost everything that they own. similar wartime fears lead canada and others. some japanese americans from the camps served in the nation's military where they distinguished themselves with extraordinary valor in combat. but the united states congress acknowledged the civil liberties of citizens and voted to provide financial compensation. they also vacated earlier wartime rulings. >>> during world war ii millions
