Japanese internment camps in the United States began shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The U.S. government, fearing espionage and sabotage, authorized the internment of Japanese Americans in early 1942, with the first camps opening in March of that year. The internment policy led to the forced relocation and incarceration of around 120,000 Japanese Americans, most of whom were U.S. citizens.
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.
Japanese Americans were held in internment camps during World War II primarily due to wartime hysteria and racial prejudice following the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The U.S. government, fearing potential espionage and sabotage, unjustly viewed Japanese Americans as security risks, despite the lack of evidence supporting such fears. This led to the forced relocation and incarceration of around 120,000 individuals, two-thirds of whom were U.S. citizens. The internment is now widely recognized as a grave injustice and violation of civil rights.
After the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941 by Japan, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 in February of 1942 that led to the internment of Japanese American living on the West Coast. Japanese Americans in this part of the country were removed from their homes and sent to internment camps for the duration of World War 2.

During the Japanese occupation of the Philippines (1942-1945), the Japanese established a military government known as the Japanese-sponsored Second Philippine Republic. This government was led by President Jose P. Laurel under the control and authority of the Japanese military administration.

Fear of strong national government
The U.S. government interfered with Japanese Americans during World War II primarily due to fears of espionage and sabotage following the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. This led to the implementation of Executive Order 9066, which resulted in the forced relocation and internment of around 120,000 Japanese Americans, two-thirds of whom were U.S. citizens. The decision was driven by racial prejudice, wartime hysteria, and a lack of political will to protect the rights of these individuals, despite the absence of evidence supporting the claims of disloyalty. This action has since been widely condemned as a violation of civil liberties.
