Why were Japanese-Americans sent to internment camps during World War 2 -?
After the bombing of Pearl Harbor some US officials thought the Japanese might have spies hiding among the ethnic Japanese populations in the US so they put the Japanese from the west coast into camps to watch them.The US population as a whole were too caught up in war hysteria to recognize a difference between Japanese living in Japan and US citizens with Japanese ancestry. They had somewhat less difficulty making a similar distinction between Germans and Italians (also at war with the US) and US citizens with German or Italian backgrounds.The internment revealed the level of distrust that Americans (and Canadians) had for those of Japanese heritage, and indeed for all Asians.
