More precisely, it examines the evolution of animosity in public and legal terms which culminated after the attack on Pearl Harbor. It traces the development of discrimination from first immigrations took place at the end of 19th century and divides it into 3 periods. First one lasts until 1905., the second one from 1905. – 1941. while the last period took place until the end of WW2. All three periods had their own characteristics and causes, while every period evolves from the previous one with repression growing accordingly.
