Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -The attack on Pearl Harbor also launched a rash of fear about national security, especially on the West Coast. In February 1942, just two months later, President Roosevelt, as commander-in-chief, issued Executive Order 9066 that resulted in the internment of Japanese Americans.

Detailed explanation-2: -The first internment camp in operation was Manzanar, located in southern California. Between 1942 and 1945 a total of 10 camps were opened, holding approximately 120, 000 Japanese Americans for varying periods of time in California, Arizona, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and Arkansas.

Detailed explanation-3: -Many Americans worried that citizens of Japanese ancestry would act as spies or saboteurs for the Japanese government. Fear-not evidence-drove the U.S. to place over 127, 000 Japanese-Americans in concentration camps for the duration of WWII.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
