The first concentration established in Nazi Germany was at Dachau. As the name of the camps suggest, these camps incarcerated a large number of people into a relatively small area â i.e. concentrated their numbers into a small space.
The camps were created because the United States was scared of connections Japanese Americans might have to the enemy. The U.S. didnât want Japan to bomb us again with any possible help from a Japanese American. The camps were also started because the U.S. thought the Japanese Americans were going to betray the United States. During 1942 Internment Camps were started and the nightmare began for those of Japanese ancestry. The FBI started the camps and President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was in charge. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt sent U.S. soldiers to send Japanese Americans to internment camps. The FBI went through every home of any Japanese American in case of any contact of the enemy.
