The U.S. entered WWII and Japan because the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Pearl Harbor was a naval base. This attack killed hundreds of U.S. soldiers. After this attack America joined the war. The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor because the United States boycotted them.

AnswerThere was some concern regarding whether the Japanese in this country would be loyal to the Emperor of Japan or to the United States.

There were many reasons, the official reason given was because Japanese Americans living on the west coast were direct threats to National security.

Following the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese, Canada interned its Japanese citizens and declared war on Japan during World War II. Japanese-Canadian citizens were forcibly relocated, interrogated, and put under curfew. Due to racism, Prime Minister Mackenzie King deemed the internment necessary. Japanese newspapers were shut down, and personal property like houses, boats, cars and personal items were all sold.

There is no easy answer for this, however, I'll do the best I can.

At the time following the Attack on Pearl Harbor (Dec. 7, 1941), fear ran strong in America. The U.S. Government decided it was best to place all Japanese-Americans into Relocation Camps in the Southwestern United States.

Executive Order 9066, issued by FDR, mandated this policy. One of the most notable camps in the Southwest was located in Poston, Arizona along the Colorado River.

They claimed they had to be certain they were not spies for Japan and they did not want them to be able to help the Japanese. It was an illegal move to imprison them and take their possessions, homes and businesses.

During WW II, when the US was at war with Imperial Japan, it was feared that Japanese Americans would be more loyal to their ancestral country than to the country in which they were living, although there was no evidence that they were anything other than loyal Americans. The internment remains a particularly disgraceful chapter of American history.
