What was the conflict& compromise of this? It was a conflict at first, but what was the compromise from this?

Any ideas on what I should put on two white boards for decorations that are related to this topic?

Answer 1

During the second world war, Australia had an internment camp for Japanese POW's and other Japanese persons. The camp was at Cowra. You could put 'cowra breakout' into a search engine and get some help.

Answer 2

I'm assuming you are referring to camps within the U. S. You really need to read about this for yourself. I'll include a link, to get you started.

"On February 19, 1942, soon after the beginning of World War II, Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066. The evacuation order commenced the round-up of 120,000 Americans of Japanese heritage to one of 10 internment camps—officially called "relocation centers"—in California, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Wyoming, Colorado, and Arkansas."

Some of the additional topics mentioned are:
"Why Were the Camps Established?"
"Conditions in the U.S. Camps"
"Legal Challenges to Internment"
"Government Apologies and Reparations"

A recollection from a child,
"...I remember my mother wrapping
A blanket around me and my
Pretending to fall asleep
so she would be happy
Though I was so excited I couldn't sleep.
(I hear there were people herded
Into the Hastings Park like cattle
Families were made to move in two hours
Abandoned everything, leaving pets
And possessions at gun point..."
