Japanese Interment Camps Japanese Interment Camps According to our history in 1942, approximately 110,000 Japanese-Americans were relocated to selected areas far from their homes. (The American Promise pg. 692) For fear the United States Government held against them. This fear was cause from Japan who had just bombed Pearl Harbor. (December 7th 1941) America was getting ready for another world war; in doing so they took actions in national security. Japanese-Americans inhabited many of the U.S. port areas on the West coast. The U.S. government provided a plan for both United States citizens and the Japanese-Americans, or so it was stated. However, when seeking the fine details of this incident, we see two sides of the story, the question is which is the truth and which is the fantasy. The Official Government documents drastically contrast the first-hand accounts of what it was like in those Communities.
