    During World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued an executive order in 1942 that mandated the internment of people of Japanese ancestry on the West Coast of the United States, affecting around 117,000 Japanese Americans, many of whom were citizens. They were held in internment camps, often near where they previously lived, with multiple families crammed together in barracks with few possessions. Some Japanese Americans were also formed into a combat unit to fight in Europe during the war.

    The Japanese Internment (1942-1946) started during

    World War II, after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

    President Franklin D. Roosevelt

    declared onDecember 7, 1941 that all people of Japanese


    ancestry would be interned.

    About 11,000-12,000 Japanese Americans were in internment


    camps during World War ll.

    President Roosevelts order affected approximately 117,000


    Japanese Americans and some were citizens of America.

    Most Japanese-Americans were interned relatively near where they lived.


    For example if you were a Japanese American living in western
    Washington State, you would be relocated to the assembly center at
    thePuyallup Fairgrounds near Tacoma.

    Four or five families with their sparse collections of clothing and


    small possessions would squeeze into one barrack.

    In 1943 and 1944 the government assembled a combat unit of


    Japanese Americans for the European theatre(also known as
    theEuropean War).

    The universities of Nebraska were the only two colleges that


    allowed Japanese in the U.S.A.
