Why did the Japanese Americans have to move to Japanese internment camps?

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.
