In February 1942, the United states ordered the internment of all Japanese-Americans to "Relocation Centers" across the country.

Although the Japanese-Americans were not actively mistreated, they were isolated, confined to primitive medical and educational facilities, and denied the chance to work.

In 1944, two and a half years after signing Executive Order 9066, fourth-term President Franklin D. Roosevelt revoked the order. So by the end of 1945 the internment of Japanese-Americans ended, but the discrimination, segregation, and bias still live on today.
