Internment is imprisonment without trial.
1. They were the places where Japanese people in the US and other enemy aliens were taken during World War 2.
2. In all countries fighting in World War 2 there were scares about enemy aliens - that is foreigners with the nationality of the enemy countries - and many of them were interned (locked up without any charge). In all the Allied countries there were screening procedures in place. Also, the criteria changed at various points during the war.
3. In some Allied countries there was also provision for interning people thought likely to act as subversives. So, in Britain for example, some members of the British Union of Fascists (BUF) and a few other organizations were interned, despite the fact that there they British citizens. (There's even a story about a young man who went underground because he was pro-Nazi: he didn't want to serve in the British armed forces and of course didn't want to be interned, either. So he changed his name and and didn't report for the draft, but instead led an illegal, shadowy existence till about 1970).
It's where people got raped. :(
During WWII Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. The government was frightened so they ordered that anyone of Japanese decent even if born in America was to be put in a concentration camp. The government did this because they believed any Japanese-American could be a threat to America.
Descendants of Asian ancestry were placed in internment camps as a precaution after Pearl Harbor was bombed. Many were thought to be spies for Japan.
They were blamed for the attack on Pearl Harbor and thought to be spies.
Americans thought the Japanese-Americans were allied with Japan because they were Japanese. They did this because of paranoia that more attacks would happen.

They really were much different Relocation Camps and Internment camps were the same thing just that relocation camps were the real camps and internment camps were where the Japanese Americans had to go before they made the relocation camps.
We were at war with Japan and thought that they may be spying on the US.The Japanese Americans were sent to the relocation camps because the Americans suspected that there were spies in that particular group.
in fear of spies.
Japanese Americans had to be forced out from their homes, cities and businesses and sent to relocation camps.
Japanese Americans and Canadians were put interned due to fears by the government that they would spy for their homeland.

Japanese internment camps were meant to house any Japanese Americans whom "posed a threat" to the American Government or people during WWII. Though this sounds innocent, the Americans took total liberty in putting any Japanese they could get there hands on in there.
