Japanese Americans were sent to internment camps during World War II, primarily in response to fears of espionage and sabotage following Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. Approximately 120,000 Japanese Americans, two-thirds of whom were U.S. citizens, were forced to leave their homes and businesses and were placed in camps for the duration of the war.
