In 1988, via the Civil Liberties Act, Congress passed (and President Reagan signed) a measure calling for monetary reparations to be made to the 82, 210 detainees remanded to Japanese internment camps during World War II. The final total of this measure would cost the U.S. over $1.6 billion, as the measure called for redress in the amount of $20,000 per detainee. Payments were issued to survivors or their descendants.

In 1992, President George Bush (Sr.) signed the final payments attached to this act, and also issued another formal apology for the wartime internment practice and its effects on its detainees.

How much did Japan pay as reparations after world war 2?

The Japanese paid some reparations as per the Treaty of Peace with Japan however they committed so many horrific and revolting war crimes that no reparations could possibly come close to compensating for them. Also no real prosecutions of the Japanese happened after the war and some Japanese war criminals are still honored as heroes. One even being elected as their prim minister. To this day they refuse to admit to, or apologize for, their heinous crimes or compensate those that survived.
