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

Blimpie · Answer 2

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.
