Japanese Americans were forced to relocate to guarded camps because they were becoming successful business people.

Responses

false
false

Answer 1

The statement is false. Japanese Americans were forcibly relocated to internment camps during World War II primarily due to wartime hysteria and racial prejudice, not specifically because they were becoming successful business people. They were seen as a security threat after the attack on Pearl Harbor, leading to the unjust internment of thousands of Japanese Americans, regardless of their individual success or loyalty to the United States.
