Japanese internment in World War II

Causes: racism, fear, and government involvement.

Effects: fear, forced military enrollment, family separation (in Canada), loss of american japanese citizens, and government paid reparations.

The things that happened to Japanese or foreign people during World War II were terrible.  Some of the causes of those terrible things were caused by fear and government involvement such as the president signing orders and agreeing to these abominations.  If other people had spoken up and had not been in such debilitating terror.  In Canada families were separated and sent to different places, men to work on rail lines and women and children to live in British Columbian towns.
