What was Executive Order 9066?

United States Executive Order 9066The United States Executive Order 9066 was a presidential executive order issued during World War II by U.S. President on February 19 , 1942, using his authority as Commander-in-Chief to exercise war powers to send ethnic groups to internment camps.This order authorized U.S. armed forces commanders to declare areas of the United States as military areas "from which any or all persons may be excluded." It was eventually applied to one-third of the land area of the U.S. (mostly in the West) and was used against those with "Foreign Enemy Ancestry."The order led to the Japanese American internment in which some 110,000 ethnic Japanese people were held in internment camps for the duration of the war. Of the Japanese interned, 62 percent were Nisei (American-born, second-generation Japanese American) or Sansei (third-generation Japanese American) and the rest were Issei (Japanese immigrants and resident aliens, first-generation Japanese American).The Secretary of defense (then Henry L. Stimson) was to assist those residents of such an area who were excluded with transport, food, shelter, and other accommodations.Americans of Japanese ancestry were by far the most widely-affected as well as several thousand Italian and German nationals. Americans of Italian and German ancestry were targeted by these restrictions, including internment.

Why did President Roosevelt send Japanese Americans to Relocation camps?

President Franklin D. Roosevelt authorized the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II due to fears of espionage and sabotage following the attack on Pearl Harbor. This decision was influenced by widespread racial prejudice and wartime hysteria, leading to the belief that Japanese Americans posed a security threat. Ultimately, around 120,000 individuals were forcibly relocated to internment camps, despite the lack of evidence supporting these fears. The internment remains a controversial chapter in U.S. history, underscoring issues of civil liberties and racial discrimination.


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.
