When the US (Pearl Harbour) was attacked by the Japanese and therefore joined in the Second World War, The US government required the internment of all racially Japanese Americans, as it was feared that the Japanese could have infiltrated the country with spies and saboteurs. Interning everyone that looked Japanese was an easy way of dealing with this threat although it was very unfair to most patriotic, American, Japaneses.

No, the best the Japanese could hope for was that the US government would lose the will to fight and let the Japanese keep the territories it conquered in Asia & western Pacific. Even that hope was way out of line with reality. Americans were in no mood to "forgive & forget" after the Japanese attacked first.

What happened to Hawaii and the western U.S. Japanese population during the war?

During World War II, the Japanese population in Hawaii and the western U.S. faced significant challenges and discrimination. In Hawaii, while there were instances of suspicion and internment, the majority of Japanese Americans were not forcibly removed due to their essential role in the labor force. In contrast, on the West Coast, around 120,000 Japanese Americans were forcibly relocated to internment camps, losing homes and businesses, largely due to wartime hysteria and racial prejudice. These actions had lasting impacts on the Japanese American community and highlighted issues of civil rights during wartime.
