Japanese internment  

Definición

  • When the Japanese Navy attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the United States entered World War II. The sudden and deliberate attack not only mobilized the U.S. military into action, but federal, state, and local authorities began the process of moving Americans of Japanese ancestry away from the West Coast and Hawai'i. This entry describes the process of Japanese internment, from the first wave of roundups to the return of Japanese Americans to their homes after the war.
