During World War I, Canada established internment camps for enemy aliens, including many German nationals. Approximately 8,579 individuals were interned, with a significant number being German immigrants, as well as Austro-Hungarians and others perceived as threats. Internees faced harsh conditions, and many were eventually released, but the experience left a lasting impact on their communities. In 1983, the Canadian government formally acknowledged this injustice by offering compensation to the survivors and their descendants.

The Japanese Internment Camps were America's version of Concentration Camps for US citizens of Japanese ancestry.
