Some of the Japanese internment camps in the United States during World War II were located in places such as Manzanar and Tule Lake in California, Heart Mountain in Wyoming, and Topaz in Utah. These camps were established to detain Japanese Americans, many of whom were U.S. citizens, following the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The internment policies were driven by wartime fears and racial prejudice, leading to significant loss and suffering for those affected.

Japanese Americans were forced into 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 wartime hysteria and racial prejudice, believed that individuals of Japanese descent could be loyal to Japan and pose a security threat. As a result, over 120,000 Japanese Americans, many of whom were U.S. citizens, were forcibly relocated to internment camps, often losing their homes and businesses in the process. This action has since been recognized as a grave injustice and violation of civil liberties.
There were 110,000 - 120,000 sent to the camps during WW2.
