Detailed explanation-1: -Virtually all Japanese Americans were forced to leave their homes and property and live in camps for most of the war. The government cited national security as justification for this policy although it violated many of the most essential constitutional rights of Japanese Americans.
Detailed explanation-2: -Shock, fear, and worry were common initial psychological reactions as Japanese Americans were forced to deal with the stress of enforced dislocation and the abandonment of their homes, possessions, and businesses.
Detailed explanation-3: -Japanese internment camps were established during World War II by President Franklin D. Roosevelt through his Executive Order 9066. From 1942 to 1945, it was the policy of the U.S. government that people of Japanese descent, including U.S. citizens, would be incarcerated in isolated camps.
Detailed explanation-4: -Internees in most cases lost their homes, businesses and possessions when they were interned. Despite this, many Japanese Americans thought that the best way to prove their loyalty to the United States was by participating in activities that aided the war effort, including making uniforms and parachutes.
Detailed explanation-5: -So it would be correct to say that “about 110, 000 Japanese Americans were forcibly removed from the West Coast” and that “about 120, 000 Japanese Americans were held in American concentration camps administered by the War Relocation Authority during World War II.”
