Internment of German Americans
The internment of German Americans refers to the detention of German nationals and German-American citizens in the United States during the periods of World War I and of World War II. With the US entry into war, German nationals were automatically classified as "enemy aliens", as is common practice among nations at war.
At the time of WWII, the United States had a large population of ethnic Germans. In 1940 more than 1.2 million persons had been born in Germany, 5 million had two native-German parents, and 6 million had one native-German parent. Many more had distant German ancestry. During WWII, the United States detained a total of 11,507 ethnic Germans, overwhelmingly German nationals. The government examined the cases of German nationals individually, and detained relatively few in internment camps run by the Department of Justice, as related to its responsibilities under the Alien and Sedition Acts. To a much lesser extent, some ethnic German US citizens were classified as suspect after due process and also detained. Similarly, a small proportion of Italian nationals and Italian Americans were interned in relation to their total population in the US. The United States had allowed immigrants from both Germany and Italy to become naturalized citizens, which many had done by then. In the early 21st century, Congress considered legislation to study treatment of European Americans during WWII, but it did not pass the House of Representatives. Activists and historians have identified certain injustices against these groups.
Japan was another enemy Axis power in WWII. After its attack on Pearl Harbor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued an Executive Order declaring the length of the West Coast an Exclusion Zone for suspect persons because of wartime exigencies. The War Department excluded virtually all Japanese Americans from this area, both citizens and resident aliens. In the case of Japanese immigrants, the US had always prohibited their becoming citizens, regardless of their length of residence in the US. Their children born in the US were automatically citizens. Citizens made up approximately two-thirds of the estimated 120,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans who were forcibly relocated from the West Coast and incarcerated for years during the war in camps in the interior of the country, causing many to lose their homes and livelihoods. Although Japanese Americans made up more than one-third of the population of Hawaii, fewer than 2,000 were detained in internment camps. The US Congress passed legislation in 1988 and 1992 to apologize to Japanese American survivors of the camps and pay them compensation for loss of property and injustice.
