Japanese Americans were held in internment camps during World War II primarily due to widespread fear and suspicion following the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The U.S. government, influenced by racial prejudice and concerns about national security, deemed Japanese Americans, regardless of their citizenship status, as potential threats to the war effort. This led to the forced relocation and incarceration of around 120,000 individuals, two-thirds of whom were American citizens, in camps across the country. The internment is now widely regarded as a grave injustice and a violation of civil rights.
