Pretty much every nation interred some element of the opposing populations, and were mostly far too sweeping about it. The British commandeered a load of hotels in the Isle of Man to detain internees, and later sent some to Canada. Canada had a big internment of Japanese. Australia interred plenty too - including some sent by Britain, Dutch East Indies, French territories and others. Yet we should condemn the sweeping internment by every nation as most were innocent, often second or third generation. Many refugees who were fleeing the Nazis or Japanese were caught. There was an extreme range of approaches and conditions. By far the worst off were those who ended up incarcerated by the Germans - if target group, Japanese or Soviets. Yes, of course deciding who is innocent civilian and who is potential spy is challenging at outbreak of war, but should we not strive to do better? Especially when so many ended up losing home or business and all possessions.
