The attack on Pearl Harbor had a profound impact on the United States and its relationship with Japan. It led to the United States entering World War II and ultimately resulted in the defeat of Japan.
For Japanese Americans, the attack on Pearl Harbor had a devastating impact. It led to widespread fear and suspicion of Japanese Americans and resulted in the government ordering the forcible internment of over 120,000 Japanese Americans during the war.
The internment of Japanese Americans was a violation of their civil rights and caused great suffering and trauma. It was not until 1948 that the internment camps were closed and Japanese Americans were allowed to return to their homes.
