Members of which white ethnic group were placed in an internment camp in montana during wwii?
a. japanese
b. italians
c. jews
d. irish

The answer is letter a. Japanese. This happened during World War II.  After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt sanctioned the deportation and incarceration of Japanese Americans with Executive Order 9066 that was issued on February 19, 1942.  During this period many Japanese Americans enlisted in the U.S. Army to prove their loyalty as Americans.  Around 110,000 and 120,000 Japanese citizens were interned in these camps.  When the war ended, many were able to return to their homes but were harassed due to their ethnicity.  Many believed that the internment was done for racist reasons rather than security concerns.
