World War II 3
World War II and Beyond World War II started when Germany's new dictator, Hitler, arrived. He believed that "pure" Germans were a superior race.

In 1942, Fred Korematsu's conviction for not reporting to the detention camps was vacated. After his case was reviewed by Japanese American attorneys, the case was dropped.
