"Japanese War Brides: Across a Wide Divide"
"Japanese War Brides: Across a Wide Divide"
On Display at CCHS December 8, 2025-February 28, 2026
Following the end of WWII, nearly 45,000 Japanese women immigrated to America as wives of U.S. military servicemembers. These young women left their homes to build lives within the complexities of postwar American society. Their arrival marked the largest women-only immigration event in U.S. history and, by 1960, had increased the population of Asian Americans in the U.S. by 10%.
