This one is of special interest to me today since I am reading a book about Japanese Americans in WWII. On this date in 1941, the U.S. froze all Japanese assets in retaliation for Japan’s occupation of French Indo-China. President Roosevelt signed an executive order which did this and stopped trade with Japan. I personally think he did the right decision, but I am totally against what happened to the Japanese and Japanese Americans in this country. However, that is a topic for another post.
