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 were japaniese Americans sent to internment camps?

During World War II, anti-Japanese sentiment was high in the United States. Many Americans feared that these Japanese-Americans were spies for Japan. Everyone was afraid after the Japanese strike on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Most of the population believed that the Japanese-Americans could send inside information to the Japanese and allow for another attack on United States soil. President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 to sent the Japanese to the camps. However, the Japanese weren't the only ones to be sent to Internment Camps by the United States. Some German-Americans and Italian-Americans were also sent to camps.
