Did you know that Goleta, California, right outside Santa Barbara, was attacked by a Japanese submarine during WW2? Although it caused little damage, here's why this attack is important in US history!
To check it out yourself, go to Haskell's Beach in Goleta to see the remains of oil derricks hit by a few shells (goo.gl/maps/Yn...) then head to Sandpiper Golf Club to see the attack's historical marker (goo.gl/maps/kP...) and the Barnsdall Rio Grande Service Station to where people on the ground witnessed the attack in 1942 (goo.gl/maps/xA...)

Excellent and thorough presentation! Very well done! Curious whether our military responded or intervened?

Thank you! After the last shot the sub headed immediately west out to sea before the US could respond, but fears about it being part of some larger attack led to the imagined 'Battle of Los Angeles' en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Los_Angeles The sub itself didn't escape the war - it was sunk in August 1943 off the island of New Caledonia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_submarine_I-17

Hey. That's important. It's weird how Americans don't learn about foreign wars that directly hit America in this way. It could be a simple single day history lesson...

Internment camps were not concentration camps. Compared to Dachau they may have been uncomfortable but they had a virtually 100% survival rate.

I'm gonna copy a passage from the wikipedia page on internment camps to highlight the point that concentration camps are places where people of a certain belief, race, etc are concentrated; in this case it was Japanese Americans: "During World War II, the camps were referred to both as relocation centers and concentration camps by government officials and in the press.[245] Roosevelt himself referred to the camps as concentration camps on different occasions, including at a press conference held on October 20, 1942.[246][245] In 1943, his attorney general Francis Biddle lamented that "The present practice of keeping loyal American citizens in concentration camps for longer than is necessary is dangerous and repugnant to the principles of our government."[247] Following World War II, other government officials made statements suggesting that the use of the term "relocation center" had been largely euphemistic. In 1946, former Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes wrote "We gave the fancy name of 'relocation centers' to these dust bowls, but they were concentration camps nonetheless."[248] In a 1961 interview, Harry S. Truman stated "They were concentration camps. They called it relocation but they put them in concentration camps, and I was against it. We were in a period of emergency, but it was still the wrong thing to do."[249]" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internment_of_Japanese_Americans
