Why were Japanese American interned during world war 2?
Japanese-American internment was the forced relocation and internment by the United States government in 1942 of approximately 110,000 Japanese Americans and Japanese residing along the Pacific coast of the United States to camps called "War Relocation Camps" (a polite way of saying Concentration Camps) in the wake of Imperial Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor.Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, the United States was gripped by war hysteria. This was especially strong along the Pacific coast of the U.S., where residents feared more Japanese attacks on their cities, homes, and businesses. Leaders in California, Oregon, and Washington, demanded that the residents of Japanese ancestry be removed from their homes along the coast and relocated in isolated inland areas.While the threat from Japanese spies and saboteurs was real, it was primarily the distrust many Americans felt of the mysterious Japanese culture. Combined with virulent Propaganda against the Japanese enemy, it created a dangerously hostile situation. Some top military leaders (later known for undisguised racial bias) were allowed to contravene the rights of loyal Americans. Years later, some were compensated for their hardships, albeit both belatedly and inadequately.Pearl Harbour led to the internment of the Japanese Americans because it scared the American citizens into being sucpisious of any Japanese person, and the government's solution was to place the Japanese Americans in internment camp so no uprisings would occur.

Which group of immigrants was cut off by the gentleman's agreement of the 1800s?
The Gentlemen's Agreement of 1907 affected the Japanese immigrants. Many of these immigrants came to the United States (namely California) under the treaty in 1894, which assured them free immigration. But tensions started to rise in California, as Japanese children were segregated to separate schools, and in the Gentlemen's agreement, Japan agreed not to issue passports to Japanese citizens entering the United States, while the U.S. agreed to accept the presence of those already immigrated as well as the children in California schools.
