Japanese Americans were held in internment camps during World War II primarily due to wartime hysteria and racial prejudice following the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The U.S. government, fearing potential espionage and sabotage, unjustly viewed Japanese Americans as security risks, despite the lack of evidence supporting such fears. This led to the forced relocation and incarceration of around 120,000 individuals, two-thirds of whom were U.S. citizens. The internment is now widely recognized as a grave injustice and violation of civil rights.
