    During World War II, over 120,000 Japanese Americans were forcibly removed from their homes and incarcerated in internment camps across the western interior of the United States. This was due to war hysteria caused by exaggerated news reports of Japanese espionage and fears of a potential invasion of the West Coast by Japan. The document discusses the pre-war yellow journalism that helped fuel fears against Japanese Americans, as well as the subsequent incarceration of 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry for the duration of World War II.
