Many American's of Japanese decent were sent to internment camps.

Why did roosevelt decide to move people to Japanese ancestry to internment camps?
Franklin Delano Roosevelt intention with the Japanese internment was to round up and control all persons of Japanease ancestry in the USA, after Japan attacked the USN fleet at Hawaii, on December 7th, 1941. This was because of a fear that these person might do acts of sabotage, such as setting fires, or attacking civillians. They were collected and shipped to isolated camps in the mountains, or the desert, men women and kids, all together. Some camps had up to 10,000 people in them In actual fact, the Japanese-Americans proved to be very loyal and when they were given the chance to become American soldiers they fought well, but not in the Pacific theatre. They all served in Europe, far from Japan.
How much money did Japanese Americans held in concentration camps in the US receive after World War 2?
Compensation for Japanese Internment Camp PrisonersThese persons were either Japanese citizens living in the USA or decendants of Japanese. They were deemed a threat (due to the Japanese having a large navy, capable of striking the mainland USA), as opposed to German decendants (Germany lacked a navy of such force). Supposedly the Japanese-Americans so imprisoned had their property protected in their absence but in fact, much was lost to vandalism, forced sale, theft or confiscation. Many farms and businesses were thus lost by these persons.After many years, around 1981 ( I think ) a token amount of money (around $25,000 per person) was awarded as damages by the US Federal Government. While trivial financially compared to the sums lost, nonetheless, many Japanese Americans were satisfied with this settlement as it was considered an admission of wrong doing by the Government.newtest3True, it was in 1988 that congress apologized for their actions and gave about 20,000 dollars to each Japanese. But what is often not noted, a total of around 400 million dollars worth of land was confiscated from the Japanese, bettering the wealth of the American Government.

How was the internment of Japanese citizens right?
There was nothing 'right' about it. The internment was a violation of USA law in that census data was used criminally to identify the Japanese Americans. The internment itself was morally wrong in that it violated American priciples of due process and protection of the laws of the land. This said, war in its nature is full of extremes. All nations involved in war toss out certain rules that would never be considered in peace time. After the war is over, there are always groups seeking compensation and apologies. Once you realize that all wars are a fight between nations for primacy. All nations use whatever means are available to win the fight for national survival. It is not fair after the fact to judge those actions taken during the stress and strain of battle. Instead of looking for bad guys, good guys and bogeymen, the mature way to review history is to realize that all nations strive for power and do whatever they perceive it takes to achieve that goal, even if it means damaging their own citizens.
Why did jappenneseAmericans face more discrimination during world war 2 than Italy?
Many were punished for the actions of the few. A few Japanese Americans sabotaged a tanker filled with gasoline by adding paraffin. This kept a number of American airplanes from having sufficient gasoline to defend the Philippines and caused the PT boats from having enough fuel. It greatly assisted the Japanese conquest of the Philippines. That led to panic. It made the rest of the country wonder what other acts of sabotage the Japanese would perform. German Americans and Italian Americans in general did not have such ties to the mother country. They especially did not want to risk getting shipped back home!
