Japanese internment during World War II was primarily driven by wartime hysteria and racial prejudice following the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941. The U.S. government, fueled by fears of espionage and sabotage, viewed Japanese Americans as potential threats, despite their loyalty to the country. Influential figures and media propagated stereotypes that painted Japanese Americans as disloyal, leading to the unjust decision to forcibly relocate and intern around 120,000 individuals, most of whom were U.S. citizens. This action was later acknowledged as a grave injustice, rooted in racism and the failure of political leadership.
