Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941. The temperature was freezing, and plane engines could be heard in the distance. Workers at the time had no care of the incoming planes, until they saw a Japanese flag on them. It was too late by the time guns were armed and ready to fire at them. The planes had already dropped bombs on the military base. The sky above filled with smoke and ashes. The next morning, flags were raised half height. The United States Administration got suspicious of Japanese people near vital areas such as cargo bays, oil wells, and factories, and executed Executive order 9066. Around the Pearl Harbor bombing, Japanese people near the West Coast were relocated to the inner United States. This act in my opinion was not justified.
