| has gloss | eng: Japanese Canadian internment refers to the confinement of Japanese Canadians in British Columbia during World War II. The internment began in December 1941, following the attack by the Japanese air force on the American base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and was justified by the leaders of the push for internment on grounds of national security. Their property was confiscated and the people were transported to camps in various locations in the interior of the province, often with substandard conditions, causing great hardship. |
