The Japanese internment in the United States occurred during World War II, primarily from 1942 to 1945. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, the U.S. government forcibly relocated and interned around 120,000 Japanese Americans, most of whom were U.S. citizens, in various camps across the country. This action was rooted in wartime hysteria and racial prejudice rather than any proven security threat. The internment officially ended in 1945, but its impacts are still felt and discussed today.
