Where did the Executive Order 9066 affect?

Answer 1

It forced hundreds of Italian Americans into camps

Answer 2

It authorized the Secretary of War and U.S. armed forces to declare areas of the United States as military areas, it did not name any nationality or ethnic group. 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" Japanese and Korean who were considered to have Japanese nationality ,since Korea had been under Japanese rule since 1910 they were considered part of Japan. The order led to the internment of Japanese Americans some 120,000 ethnic Japanese people were held in internment camps for the duration of the war. 62% were Nisei basically American born children of immigrants from Japan, who were natural born American citizens. Japanese Americans were by far the most widely affected group, all persons with Japanese ancestry were removed from the West Coast and southern Arizona. In Hawaii only selected individuals of heightened perceived risk were interned (ironic isint it). Americans of Italian and German ancestry were also targeted by this order including 11,000 people of German ancestry were interned, as were 3,000 people of Italian ancestry, along with some Jewish refugees. The Jewish refugees who were interned came from Germany, and the U.S. government didn't differentiate between ethnic Jews and ethnic Germans due to the fact of jewish being a religious practice.
