How were the Japanese in the US affected during the war?

There are numerous wars in history and most of them are irrelevant to Japanese-Americans. Assuming by "the war", the question exclusively refers to World War II, the following is the answer: Unfortunately, racism was a huge part of United States history and Blacks were not the only race to suffer unequal and prejudicial treatment. Asian-Americans did not become accepted as "true Americans" until the mid-1960s. When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, many Americans saw the Japanese-Americans as a fifth column. This meant that they viewed the Japanese-Americans as secret spies for Japan and inherently disloyal to the United States. Strangely, from a modern perspective, German-Americans, Irish-Americans, and Italian-Americans, who were much more vociferous opponents of US military policy in World War II were not even considered for discriminatory treatment, showing that this boils down to racism and fear of Asians more than it does legitimate security concerns. In order to deal with this perceived loyalty, the President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942. This order was used to round up Japanese-Americans all along the Pacific coast (the largest area of Japanese-Americans in the United States) and place them in internment camps. In 1944, the US Supreme Court upheld the validity of the camps on the grounds of necessary military action. Surprisingly, the Japanese-American response was not to riot or protest, but to actively seek to assist the United States military in World War II. To "prevent" the Japanese-Americans from being in contact with other Japanese, most Japanese-American units were sent to the Italian Front, where some of them earned the highest amounts of commendations and medals. After the war, the Japanese-Americans were released from the camps without any property of money from which to make a living. However, many of them were resourceful and able to sustain themselves in the following decades. In the 1980s, the US Federal Government admitted its wrongdoing and compensated every family that still had a surviving member from the internment camps for this violation of their civil liberties.


How were Japanese-Americans affected by World War 2?

During World War 2, many Japanese-Americans were put into internment camps or "War Relocation Camps". Many of them were only allowed to take the clothes on their backs or had to pack so quickly that they were unprepared for life in the internment camps.Many of them lost irreplaceable personal property, due to restrictions on what they could take into the camp and to theft and destruction of items that were placed in storage.Many of them lost their property or their tenant farms, or had to sell their farms within a few days at a low price.The Japanese were moved to high security surveillance camps where they were tracked constantly and kept away from the outside world for the American government feared that they were spies.

What was the major reason for relocating Japanese-American to government-run internment camps during world war 2?

After the Pearl Harbor attack, Japanese-Americans were rounded up and isolated for fear that they had allegiance to the Japanese empire and might act as spies and as a fifth column undermining the American war effort. It may also be true that they were separated from the rest of the population to avoid misplaced retaliation by American civilians against Japanese-Americans because they looked like the enemy.
