Answer 2

An appropriate follow-up question is: How did the American government justify the Japanese internment?

At the time of the events, Franklin D. Roosevelt was President of the USA.

I think innocent people were relocated and incarcerated for revenge and war agitation after the Pearl Harbour attack, as well as for racial reasons.

The Japanese internment took place in the United States, and affected 120,000 Japanese Americans living on the West Coast.
