The Japanese-American internment camps were the result of the attack on Pearl Harbor,followed by the fact that most Japanese-Americans settled in various parts of the Hawaiian Islands and parts of the west coast of America.The FBI thought that some Japanese-Americans were sent by the Japanese Government to get information about U.S. Military (such as Pearl Harbor) to launch such a blow to weaken American defenses.The U.S. Government decided that every Japanese-American be put into a camp so that they could watched very closely.
