Japanese-American internment during World War II lasted longer than many anticipated due to a combination of wartime hysteria, racial prejudice, and government policies. Fear of espionage and sabotage following the attack on Pearl Harbor fueled widespread mistrust of Japanese-Americans, leading to their forced relocation and incarceration.

It wasn't until the war's end and growing civil rights movements that the injustices of internment were increasingly acknowledged and challenged.
