Hi,

Which statement best describes the role of West Coast newspapers in provoking fear of Japanese people in the 1940s?

The newspapers reported rumors about Japanese Americans being spies

The correct answer is A) the news papers reported rumors about Japanese Americans being spies.

The statement that best describes the role of Western newspapers in provoking fear of Japanese people in the 1940s is “the news papers reported rumors about Japanese Americans being spies.”

The government of the United States considered the possibility of Japanese Americans being spies and could transmit information to the enemy after the Pearl Harbor attack during World War II. Japanese people that lived in the West Coast region were sent to special camps built by the U.S. army. That is why it is correct that the statement that best describes the role of Western newspapers in provoking fear of Japanese people in the 1940s is “the news papers reported rumors about Japanese Americans being spies.”

The other options of the question were b) the news papers reported facts about the war with Japan, c) the news papers reported that Japanese Americans were taking over California, and d) the news papers reported the U.S. could not defend itself against Japan.

the vast majority of ballots have been counted nearly two weeks after one of the biggest political upsets in modern u.s. history catapulted donald trump to the presidency.

estimates show more than 58 percent of eligible voters went to the polls during the 2016 election, nearly breaking even with the turnout rate set during the last presidential election in 2012, even as the final tallies in states like california continue to be calculated, according to statistics collected by the u.s. elections project.

but among those figures were stark contrasts in key states that swing the election to trump — in ohio, wisconsin, iowa, michigan and elsewhere — indicating the president-elect’s leap from long-shot candidate to the most powerful political position in the world may have happened in part because of apathy toward hillary clinton’s candidacy, especially among the democratic base, several political scientists and organizations monitoring voter turnout told the pbs newshour.

while clinton is leading the popular vote by more than 1.5 million over trump as of sunday, she trails president obama’s 2012 totals by more than 2 million ballots — a chasm that may have cost her the election, said david becker, co-founder of the center for election and innovation and research.

“several million voters didn’t come out to vote,” becker said. “which is telling me that this idea of the trump wave, a huge number of voters shifting over to trump, is certainly not the story.”
