Japanese internment camps in the United States began shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The U.S. government, fearing espionage and sabotage, authorized the internment of Japanese Americans in early 1942, with the first camps opening in March of that year. The internment policy led to the forced relocation and incarceration of around 120,000 Japanese Americans, most of whom were U.S. citizens.
Japanese internment camps in Canada during World War II significantly impacted the country's social fabric and policies. Established in 1942, these camps led to the forced relocation and internment of over 22,000 Japanese Canadians, many of whom were Canadian citizens, highlighting issues of racial discrimination and civil rights. The aftermath prompted a reevaluation of government policies regarding minority rights and contributed to a broader discourse on multiculturalism and reconciliation in Canada. Ultimately, the legacy of these camps has influenced contemporary discussions on justice, inclusion, and the treatment of marginalized communities.
No it was not - they were American citizens who had done nothing wrong. They were not fighting on the Japanese side during the war. The internment was caused by fear and racism.
When the Japanese Canadians were sent to the internment camps, their property was sold by the government of Canada in order to fund the internment. After the war, most of the Japanese Canadians had nothing to return to in B.C. so they started a new life in other provinces.
