Content: The military felt that the threat of a Japanese invasion was very likely and they thought that the Japanese Americans would be more likely to aid a Japanese invasion than the rest of the population. Thus, to stop any possibly sabotage (even if there was no proof), they told the Japanese Americans to relocate. However, a lot of the inland states began to refuse the entrance of Japanese Americans. Therefore, the Japanese Americans were then forced into several internment camps. [ 9]
Once in the internment camps, the Japanese Americans lost all rights as citizens, including all of their personal rights as well. They had no ownership rights over their personal belongings. It is also said that they were not allowed to speak Japanese. Therefore, whatever family/cultural relationships they had with each other were lost. [ 10]
The Japanese Americans were released in 1945. Because of all the personal losses, Japanese Americans suffered socially and economically.
