The United States moved quickly to bomb Japan in retaliation for the Pearl Harbor attack.
A
All persons in the United States speaking a foreign language were ordered into internment camps.
M
More than 100,000 Japanese Americans were ordered to leave their homes and move to internment camps.

Explanation

Executive Order 9066 authorized the military to designate areas from which people could be excluded. The government used it to force more than 100,000 Japanese Americans from their homes and into internment camps; it did not apply to everyone who spoke a foreign language.
