Distrust and racism led to the internment of Japanese Americans during World War 2. Even families that had lived in the United States for generations were sent to camps.
All of the above. Apex
They were not placed anywhere. Japan was not an enemy in World War I.
Japanese-American internment was the forced relocation and internment by the United States government in 1942 of approximately 110,000 Japanese Americans and Japanese residing along the Pacific coast of the United States to camps called "War Relocation Camps" (a polite way of saying Concentration Camps) in the wake of Imperial Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor.Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, the United States was gripped by war hysteria. This was especially strong along the Pacific coast of the U.S., where residents feared more Japanese attacks on their cities, homes, and businesses. Leaders in California, Oregon, and Washington, demanded that the residents of Japanese ancestry be removed from their homes along the coast and relocated in isolated inland areas.While the threat from Japanese spies and saboteurs was real, it was primarily the distrust many Americans felt of the mysterious Japanese culture. Combined with virulent Propaganda against the Japanese enemy, it created a dangerously hostile situation. Some top military leaders (later known for undisguised racial bias) were allowed to contravene the rights of loyal Americans. Years later, some were compensated for their hardships, albeit both belatedly and inadequately.Pearl Harbour led to the internment of the Japanese Americans because it scared the American citizens into being sucpisious of any Japanese person, and the government's solution was to place the Japanese Americans in internment camp so no uprisings would occur.
During World War II, approximately 120,000 Japanese Americans were forcibly relocated and interned in camps across the United States following the attack on Pearl Harbor. This action was fueled by wartime hysteria and racial prejudice, leading to the wrongful imprisonment of U.S. citizens and residents of Japanese descent. Many lost their homes, businesses, and personal property, and the internment lasted until the war ended, with some individuals remaining in camps even longer. In subsequent decades, the U.S. government formally acknowledged this injustice and provided reparations to survivors.

The U.S. government acknowledged that the Japanese Americans were treated unfairly.
During World War II, Japanese Americans were treated extremely unfairly. Specifically, President Roosevelt signed an executive order which called for all Japanese Americans in the US to be rounded up and moved into camps.
The U.S. government acknowledged that the Japanese Americans were treated unfairly.
no clue man
Japanese Americans , Blacks , Hispanics, Women, German Americans, Italian Americans
they were fare civilians but could been racist at and treated badly
After the attack on Pearl Harbor (December 7, 1941) many people started discriminating against Japanese Americans because the Japanese were the people who bombed Pearl Harbor. People looked at the Japanese Americans as spies and untrustworthy. FDR saw this in people and relocated the Japanese Americans to camps in Wyoming to "protect" them. Mexicans and African Americans were not relocated and looked at as spies. People still discriminated againsts these ethnics groups but not to the lenghts as which they did to the Japanese Americans.
During World War II, Japanese citizens in the United States were treated differently due to widespread fear and prejudice following the attack on Pearl Harbor. This led to the belief that Japanese Americans could be potential spies or saboteurs, resulting in Executive Order 9066, which authorized the internment of around 120,000 Japanese Americans in camps. This action was rooted in racial discrimination and wartime hysteria, contrasting with how other ethnic groups, including German and Italian Americans, were treated. Ultimately, this unjust treatment has been recognized as a significant violation of civil rights in American history.
The U.S. government put all Japanese-Americans in internment camps. They weren't treated well at all. Some internment camps housed these people in old horse stalls!!!!
they were treated like dogs
