Definición

  • Relocation centers, also known as internment camps, were permanent detention centers established to incarcerate U.S. citizens and permanent resident aliens of Japanese ancestry from California, the western halves of Washington and Oregon, and southern Arizona during World War II. President Franklin D. Roosevelt authorized this practice on February 19, 1942, subsequent to the bombing of Pearl Harbor by Japan on December 7, 1941. He did so by granting authority over the entire western region of the United States to the military in Executive Order 9066, creating Military Area #1.
