Approximately 40 years after WW2, the Canadian parliament gave a proper apology to all Japanese Canadians who were treated unfaired during the War. Also, they paid $21,000 per person to the internment survivors, but the land and property confiscated during the time of internment were never returned. It was also in the late 80's or early 90's that the children that were with their parents received $17,000. It is sad as the other poster mentioned that their land, homes and possessions were no longer there.
Japan was used by the US Military; to base, to produce, rebuild, restore, maintain, improve, and supply US Naval, US Air Force, US Army, US Marine, and US Coast Guard forces during the Korean War (1950-1953), and during the Vietnam War (1955-1975); part of Japan's re-payment for WW2 was supplying those lands, facilities, technical skills and service.
The period of US occupation of Japan - like any other power occupying any other power- was most certainly a period of shock & devastation. In the initial years of occupation years, even traditional Japanese folk arts like Kendo was banned. However, as the cold war started to emerge after early 50s & as Kim Il Sung started his military maneuvers in DPR Korea, against South Korea, Japan was looked more & more as an "ally" and less and less as an "occupied nation."
Payments of $20,000.00 each began in 1988 when President Ronald Reagan signed into law the Civil Liberties Act of 1988. Payments continued in 1992 when President George H. W. Bush signed into law the Civil Liberties Act Amendments of 1992.
