Japanese Americans
Japanese and Japanese-Americans, many of whom were US citizens.
The US and Canada interned their Japanese citizens in horrible camps illegally. The Supreme Court determined the US Government had broken the constitution when they interned the Japanese people, took their homes and possessions and shut down their businesses.The camps were not suitable or habitable for humans to live in. They were kept in these camps until up to a year after the war was over. An excellent book to read is Farewell to Manzanar to learn what the Japanese went through and how mistreated they were when they were innocent citizens.
Japenese
Not as much as some citizens would like!
Japanese were interned in WW2 not WW1. German & Austria-Hungarian citizens were interned in WW1. German & Italian citizens were interned in WW2. It is a common international practice to intern the citizens of enemy nations during times of war. The real question was if American citizens of Japanese ancestry (or Japanese citizens with US 'green cards') should be interned by the American government because of the threat of disloyality. The US government believed that the Japanese-American population was more likely to be disloyal than the German-American or Italian-American population. Also these others were much too large to intern.
They made the civilians to construct underground bunkers.
During World War II, the US government, under Executive Order 9066, authorized the internment of Japanese Americans. Approximately 120,000 individuals of Japanese ancestry, including both US citizens and non-citizens, were forcibly removed from their homes and relocated to internment camps. The involvement included government officials, military personnel, and law enforcement authorities.
lots of things like the modern
Yes , the Japanese people welcome tourists and are very helpful to any who may need directions and most Japanese citizens speak English .
The United States government evacuated Japanese American citizens to 'camps' further inland due to the fact that they believed that some of the Japanese American citizens were spying on American military facilities, such as shipping yards. It it interesting to note that German citizens on the east-coast were not evacuated further inland. Some historians today believe it may have been due to racism to Asians.
