The '''Ukrainian Canadian internment''' was the confinement of over 5,000 [[Ukrainian]] immigrants from 1914 to 1920. These "''enemy aliens''" were kept in 26 internment camps across [[Canada]]. 80,000 other Ukrainian immigrants, deemed "''enemy aliens''" were required to report to the police. The internment was the result of rampant [[racism]] and [[xenophobia]] in Canada at the time.
