All Japanese Canadian men between 18 and 45 were taken away
Japanese fish boats confined to port
Eventually 1200 vessels seized by Canadian Navy
Canadian Pacific Railway fired all Japanese workers
The B.C. government pleaded with the Federal Government to step in and stop the racial and violent problems in the province
There was fear by the B.C. government of open rioting and violence due to the growing fears of a Japanese take-over.
The white population in B.C. pressured the government to get rid of the Japanese living on the coast. Rumours of Japanese spies and communication with Japan mounted, violence against the Japanese in B.C. worsened, and protest by the population grew day by day.
In the weeks following Pearl Harbor some Japanese in Vancouver were victimized by scattered acts of violence. These activities intensified as time went on.
Many Canadians paid no attention to these facts– they decided that Japanese Canadians were dangerous
Report concluded no express security breach was implied by granting them citizenship
The RCMP conducted a sweeping review of possible security risks represented by Japanese citizens
14,000 of them had been born in Canada and were rightfully Canadian citizens.
When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941 and 1600 Canadians at Hong Kong there was intense pressure for the government to investigate the approximately 22, 000 Japanese living in Canada
The Japanese community took over the fishing industry in British Columbia. They were better fisherman and other communities could not compete with them. This was seen as a take over ploy.
The population growth in the Japanese communities was far higher than white communities. This was seen as a threat because as the community kept growing, the more land they inhabited and the more business and network they would open
The white population saw the Japanese community with suspicion. They thought the Asians were trying to take over B.C. This fear prompted anti-Asian sentiments through discrimination, verbal abuse and even mob violence.
Japanese immigrants tended to pocket themselves into their own communities and did not interact with other nationality groups. They segregated themselves and did not assimilate into Canadian society. They kept to their traditions and did not assume Canadian traditions and qualities. This was seen as anti-Canadian
From the 1920's to the 1940's Japanese immigration to Canada dropped considerably. Between 1920 and 1940 approximately 5000 Japanese immigrated into Canada
From 1890 until WWI, almost 30,000 Japanese immigrants entered Canada. The great majority of them settled on the coast of British Columbia
For next three and a half years Canadian prisoner of war were crowded into barracks and forced into slave labour
When invasion ended, every Canadian soldier in Hong Kong had either been killed or captured by the Japanese

Landmines
Landmines are typically used to disrupt or prevent the massed attack of tanks and/or infantry.
Machine guns
as the machine-gun, perhaps more than any other weapon, drove soldiers from the battlefield and into relatively safe trenches, dug-outs, and fortifications
At first, only the Germans appreciated the power of machine-guns when used on the defence from prepared positions with overlapping fields of fire
Rifles
Artillery rifles weren't as advanced as the weapons that the Germans had, But it was the only thing the Canadians had at that time
Sten guns
was a family of British submachine guns chambered in 9×19mm and used extensively by British and Commonwealth forces throughout World War II and the Korean War

P-51 Mustang
This new fighter plane was introduced in 1944 and designed as a long-range fighter.
carried 4 heavy machine guns in its wings as well as two 20 mm cannons that allowed it to defend the tightly-packed formations of bombers.
carried special fuel tanks that could be dropped once they were empty and its efficient engine allowed it to fly all the way to Germany and back.
During 1942 and 1943, the Allies tried to bomb German industry to slow down war production.
main problem
was that the bombing missions were so far away, that Allied fighter planes were unable to fly with the bombers and protect them over Germany.
The P-51 Mustang changed this.
Schmeisser MP-40 Submarine Gun
was effective in the highly mobile warfare typical of WWII
not heavy, and easy to carry
was especially effective when fighting in close quarters. Such as house to house fighting within city or town

T-34 Tank
Was the best tank in World War II
its armour made it so effective
Steel, 50 mm thick, protected the tank crew of 4 from German Shells
more important was the sloped surface Armour design of the T-34
gave the T-34 a low profile which made it a more difficult target to hit.
caused many German tank shells to simply bounce off without doing any damage.
Played a large part in helping beat back the German invasion of Russia.
The size of the gun is determined by measuring the inside diameter of the gun barrel
was able to travel at 50 km/h and its 76 mm gun packed a powerful punch.
