The Japanese were removed from the west coast because the US government wanted to make sure that none of the Japanese that lived in the west coast could sabotage a base/ bases so the Japanese could invade the west coast. Even though I don't agree with this, I do believe that it was necessary for the time. The Japanese got fair treatment in the camps, they DID NOT get treated badly like what the Nazis did.
What else can I help you with?
Why were Japanese on the west coast forced to live in internment camps?

How many Japanese Americans were living on the west coast in 1941?
19,841,990,246
Why were the majority of the internment camps located in the west?
Because of the large Japanese population in the west coast states such as California
Why did the Japanese Americans have to move to the internment camps?
The official reasons were that the US government feared that among these persons of Japanese ancestry there might be spies or saboteurs. Within the year before Pearl Harbor the world had seen the importance of such people when Norwegian fascists led by Vidkun Quisling assisted the Nazis in overrunning Norway. This was the origin of the term "fifth column". The US General, John DeWitt, who commanded the military department which included the west coast states recommended to the government that persons of Japanese ancestry be removed from the west coast states, and the suggestion was adopted. It was only the Japanese in the west coast states who were removed to camps. Japanese living elsewhere in the US were not interned. In Hawaii persons of Japanese ancestry amounted to half or more of the population, and they were not interned either, and there were in fact a few spies among them.Another reason was to protect the Japanese-Americans from attacks by American civilians. There were in fact numerous incidents in the weeks after Pearl Harbor where Asians were attacked, and usually they were not even Japanese, but Chinese.
