Throughout U.S. history, international and domestic events have adversely affected certain groups of Americans because of their ancestry. During World War II, it was Japanese Americans who were targeted. They were stereotyped as spies and scape-goated for the actions of the Japanese government after the bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941. Executive Order 9066 initiated a series of events that ended in the removal and incarceration of approximately 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II.
