Immediately after the Pearl Harbor attack, President Franklin Roosevelt issued Presidential Decree 9066 and approved to designate a military area within the United States "to exclude any or all of the Ministers" . This order is not intended for a particular group, but it is the foundation for mass detachment and the detention of about 110,000 American families including US citizens and non-citizens. In March 1942, the lieutenant Commander John L. DeWitt of the US Army 's Western Defense Forces established a large restricted area on the west coast and urged all people born in Japan to report to the civil assembly place. In the short term, thousands of people were forced to shut down their business, abandon farms and homes, and enter remote camps, also known as relocation centers. Some detainees were repatriated to Japan, but others moved east to other parts of the United States outside the restricted area. There are also people who participate in the US military. However, most people endured their detention at the resignation of dissatisfaction. In January 1944, the ruling of the Supreme Court closed the undeclared detention of US citizens, the removal orders were canceled, the Japanese began to leave the camp, and most of them were to reconstruct the previous life I returned home. The last camp was closed in 1946 and by the end of the 20th century the US government paid damages of 1.6 billion dollars to detainees and their descendants.

Contrast between contemporary practice of Japanese American admission education in World War II is amazing. I think the reason is that there was little support for the position that was once dominant, that is, that all Japanese should be detained. This theme is easier to negotiate than many unresolved heritage of the Vietnam War. The big change in the public opinion itself implies that the new textbook can treat detention as a special mistake, not a symptom of a racist regime. An implicit national story tells stories of Japanese Americans
The detention in Japan and the United States is a camp of many Japanese Americans and their descendants during the Second World War (especially after the Pearl Harbor attack) and is known as "war resettlement camp". In 1942, the US government resettled and detained about 120,000 Japanese American citizens and Japanese descendants in third country settlement camps. The detention continued for about four years and was endorsed by the government and the president. The last relocation camp was closed in January 1946 and World War II ended officially after five months.
The detention of Japanese Americans was forced by the US government to move thousands of Japanese Americans to the camp during the Second World War. This behavior is the culmination of the federal government's long-standing racist and discriminatory treatment of Asian immigrants and their descendants, which began with a restrictive immigration policy in the second half of the 19th century. After the Japanese plane attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the US Department of War may act as a destroyer in spite of the lack of firm evidence supporting this view I doubted. Several political leaders suggested collecting Japanese Americans, especially people living on the west coast, and placing them in the inland detention center.
