How long did executive Order 9066 last?
Executive Order 9066, issued by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 19, 1942, lasted until the end of World War II, effectively concluding in 1945. The order led to the internment of approximately 120,000 Japanese Americans, most of whom were U.S. citizens, in relocation camps. Although the formal order was lifted after the war, the consequences and impacts of the internment continued to be felt long after. The last of the internment camps closed in 1946.
How many internment camps were there on the isle of man?
During World War I, there were three internment camps on the Isle of Man: Knockaloe Camp, which was the largest and held thousands of internees, and two smaller camps at Douglas and later at the village of Peel.

How did the concentration camps in America differ from the camps in Germany?
German concentration camps were mostly extermination or death camps designed to murder the inmates, primarily Jews. Some camps also sent out inmates to be used as slave labor. All the German camps were operated in total violation of international law and well outside all standard norms of behavior. The American camps were not "concentration" camps, but internment camps for Japanese, German & Italian nationals, as well as several thousand Japanese-Americans citizens and Japanese legal aliens from the west coast of the US. In accordance with international law, those foreign nationals from enemy countries (in the US when the war started) were interned in the camps only as long as the war lasted, and were freed at the end of the war. Unfortunately there are many myths and misconceptions about the relocation and internment of Japanese in the US. Japanese-American citizens and legal aliens were not relocated from Hawaii, the mid-west or the east coast of the United States. Only those living in the west coast areas were subject to this government action. Japanese-Americans were released from these camps based on various criteria, some well before the end of the war, others later near the end. Most of the Japanese-Americans that were interned the longest were from families that were unwilling to swear allegiance to the United States. Internment was based on the US government suspicion that many of the Japanese in America as legal aliens were loyal to Japan not the United States. In fact, a minority of those interned were vocally pro-Japanese and anti-American. Many Japanese-Americans volunteered to serve in the US military during the war. If they were currently interned, then they were permanently released to serve. The volunteer rates of those inside the camps was actually lower than from those Japanese-Americans outside the camps. In any event, it was not the policy of the US government to mistreat the internees. In fact the internees were generally well treated and cared for in almost all cases. The US court system had ruled in WW2 that it was legal for the government to take this action. Regardless, the Japanese-American citizens believed that the idea was wrong for them to have been sent to the camps in the first place. They petitioned the US government for compensation after the war. Eventually the US government apologized and paid some compensation to former internees, but the bitterness would remain for many.
What year were the Japanese released from the internment camps?
The camps were dissolved over a period of many months from April to November, 1945 and some individuals (non-US citizens) remained in the camps as late as April, 1946 pending deportation to Japan.In January, 1945, the US Supreme Court upheld the exclusion of Japanese-Americans from military zones, but ruled that US citizens of Japanese descent could not be detained in camps.
Why were Japanese America and held in interment camps?
Japanese Americans were placed in internment camps during World War II primarily due to widespread fear and suspicion following the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941. The U.S. government, influenced by racial prejudice and concerns about national security, deemed them potential threats. As a result, around 120,000 Japanese Americans, most of whom were U.S. citizens, were forcibly removed from their homes and incarcerated in camps across the country until the end of the war. This decision has since been recognized as a violation of civil liberties.
What is the Asian American rights movement?
