President Franklin D. Roosevelt authorized the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II due to widespread fear and suspicion following the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The U.S. government believed that individuals of Japanese descent, including American citizens, might pose a security risk and could be loyal to Japan. This decision was fueled by racial prejudice and wartime hysteria, leading to the forced relocation and confinement of around 120,000 Japanese Americans in internment camps. The internment is now widely recognized as a grave injustice and violation of civil rights.
