Question

1. who prevented most navajos from fighting against japan? (5 points)

they weren’t fluent in english.
the navajos were a peaceful nation and didn’t believe in fighting.
the navajos were afraid of the japanese because they looked similar to indians.
they had not gone through the training to be american.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option "They weren’t fluent in English" is incorrect as fluency in English isn't the main factor preventing Navajos from fighting against Japan.
• Option "The Navajos were a peaceful nation and didn’t believe in fighting" is incorrect. The Navajo Code Talkers later showed they were willing to fight, so this isn't the reason.
• Option "The Navajos were afraid of the Japanese because they looked similar to Indians" is incorrect. There's no historical basis for this fear being a reason.
• Option "They had not gone through the training to be American" is correct. The U.S. had a process of assimilating Native Americans, and without going through the training to be "American" (in terms of military and cultural assimilation processes at the time), most Navajos were prevented from fighting against Japan initially.

Answer:

D. They had not gone through the training to be American.
