Which Americans were interned during World War 2?
Japanese-Americans .
Why was Japanese interred during World War 1 and not Germans or Italians?
Japanese were interned in WW2 not WW1. German & Austria-Hungarian citizens were interned in WW1. German & Italian citizens were interned in WW2. It is a common international practice to intern the citizens of enemy nations during times of war. The real question was if American citizens of Japanese ancestry (or Japanese citizens with US 'green cards') should be interned by the American government because of the threat of disloyality. The US government believed that the Japanese-American population was more likely to be disloyal than the German-American or Italian-American population. Also these others were much too large to intern.

Japanese Americans were interned during World War 2 because some Americans feared they would be disloyal.Japan was urging Japanese Americans to act as spies.

During the entire war only ten people were convicted of spying for Japan and these were all Caucasian.Another factor was that white farmers were concerned about the competition from Japanese American farmers and saw internment as a way to get rid of their competitors.The US Government made amends through the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, when $20,000 per internee was paid out to individuals who had been interned or relocated, including those who chose to return to Japan. Some Japanese and Japanese Americans who were relocated during World War II received compensation for property losses, according to a 1948 law.

5 Which best describes the Japanese Americans interned during the war?
They were no threat to the United States.You would have needed to include the choices for the best description of the the Japanese Americans. I can tell you this: They were loyal Americans being treated unconstitutionally and unfairly. They were interned in deplorable conditions. Their sons fought in the war. They were good and wonderful people who worked hard and had good businesses. They were robbed of their livelihoods and homes. They were not reimbursed for their homes and businesses and farms. It was one of the worst travesties to ever happen in our country (like what happened to the Native Americans). They were not even allowed to be citizens unless they were born here.
