During World War II, Japanese Americans faced more severe restrictions than Italian or German Americans primarily due to wartime hysteria and racial prejudice, particularly following the attack on Pearl Harbor. The U.S. government viewed Japanese Americans as potential security threats, leading to their forced internment in camps under Executive Order 9066. In contrast, Italian and German Americans, despite being part of enemy nations, were less targeted due to their larger population, cultural assimilation, and the perception that they posed less of a threat. This disparity highlighted deep-seated racial biases and fears prevalent in American society at the time.

What date did Germany declare war on the US?

If you mean in WWII then this is what I have got. Germany did not actually declare war on the Americans. When the Japanese bombed Perl Harbour in America the Americans wanted to declare war on the Japanese but the British persuaded the Americans that it was the Germans that started it and so the Americans declared war on the Germans and any other army with them including the Japanese on 11th December 1941. Hope that helps! =)


Did Japan consult Germany before attacking Pearl Harbor?

No. The Americans apparently heard it across the radio code, but the Japanese did not inform them. The Japanese had sent a formal declaration of war, but it arrived too late. It was realized that delay would have a major affect on the response of the American public.

To put all their "undesirables" in one place. Sort of like American Reservations for the Native Americans or American Concentration Camps for Americans of Japanese decent after Dec. 7, 1941 when the Japanese attacked the USA at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Then, in January 1942, Germany decided to kill all the Jews they could get their hands on, and many of the camps, became sites of gassing and cremation of bodies.

When were Japanese Americans sent to Relocation Camps?

The reason relocation for Japanese Americans was put to use. Was due to the fact of the bombing Pearl Harbor. The American people were so stereotypical that they thought all Japanese people were linked to the attack on Pearl Harbor. They were taken to places almost like the concentration camps in Germany. But these relocation camps were meant for holding people until the war with Japan was over. Not for exterminating a race from existence.


Why did the US imprison Japanese Americans?

Because they were a different race. We were also at war with Germany and Italy, but German and Italian-Americans weren't imprisoned. (alternate answer) During WW II, when the US was at war with Imperial Japan, it was feared that Japanese Americans would be more loyal to their ethnic group, the Japanese, than they were to the country in which they were living, America, hence they might become saboteurs (or as they would be called today, terrorists). Note that there was no evidence for this fear, and the internment of the Japanese Americans is today recognized as a terrible injustice.


How did Americans become Americans?
