Write two or three sentences explaining the causes of Japanese internment.

Japanese internment was a result of the paranoia that arose in America after the attacks on Pearl Harbour.  These sentiments would have been augmented by the racial prejudice that native-born Americans and many other ethnic groups held against Japanese and Asian people.  It was also feared that Japanese-Americans would sabotage the American war-effort and act as spies for the Japanese government.  The outbreak of war with Japan caused these sentiments to boil over and led to the internment of Japanese-Americans.

Hope this helps!
