Causes and results of Japanese internment camps?

Japanese internment camps in the United States during World War II were primarily caused by wartime hysteria and racial prejudice following the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The U.S. government, fearing espionage and sabotage, forcibly relocated approximately 120,000 Japanese Americans, two-thirds of whom were U.S. citizens, to these camps. The results included significant loss of property, disruption of communities, and long-lasting psychological and social impacts on those interned. In subsequent decades, the U.S. government acknowledged the injustice, leading to formal apologies and reparations for surviving internees.
