3 YEARS
After the event of Pearl Harbor, Americans felt threatened by the Japanese-Americans. The Americans thought the Japanese-Americans on the East coast had contact with their kind in Japan and that they should cut that conact. They immedietly started moving all Japanese-Americans to interment camps all over, but left them the choice of either going to the camps, or going to Japan. Not many moved back to Japan, feeling defient and angry. The Japanese-Americans lived in their camp for under ten years, and then where allowed to leave.
See website: Japanese-American internment camps.
Japan is for the Japanese people. They have been around for thousands of years.
Fearing that Japanese living in the United States would help Japan, the government gathered up almost 120,000 Japanese-Americans and resident Japanese aliens and placed them in internment camps. Some people remained in the camps for over three years.
When Japan became aggressive in the years leading up to World War II, America followed a policy of isolationism at first. However, after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, the US entered the war and adopted a policy of total war against Japan, seeking to defeat them completely.
Everyone in America was suddenly afraid of innocent Japanese Americans. They became outcasts with little money and no one willing to help. Soon the US government forced all Americans of Japanese descent to go into concentration camps, miserable places where they were forced to stay. They were in the camps for many year (for more information try reading Farewell to Manzanar) and once they were out they were still strongly discriminated against.

After America started with bombing Japan, the Japanese set out to revenge on the Americans. How: At around 6 oclock daily time there four Japanese fighter planes flew over America dropped 6 bombs and killed 241 people at its process. Consequences: America were outraged and war started between the two nations. America sent thousands of men to fight in Japan and won the war.

Yes there were schools in these Interment Camps. However it was only until the later years when they were eventually aloud to get jobs. The Japanese spent there own money and built these schools themselves much like they did everything else they wanted.
The situation called for 110,000 Japanese Americans and Japanese who lived along the Pacific coast of the United States to be put into camps spread throughout the United States. Also 7,000 Japanese Americans and Japanese from Latin America were rounded up and transported to the US to the camps. These camps were active from 1942 to 1944. In the Japanese internment camps, they let them live as close to a normal life as they could. They let them order products out of a Sears catalog, grow gardens, let them request the types of food they could eat, and other things to make them have the most "normal of a life" as possible while in containment. But, they were not allowed to leave, communicate with anyone outside the camp, or disobey the people who worked there. By the documents I read, I conclude that no Japanese died in the two years in the camps in the United States. If someone get a document contrary to what I say with the number, I welcome to show it to us.
