The UK interned Germans and Italians as well, at least at the beginning of the war. With horrible irony, many of the Germans interned were Jews who had fled Nazi persecution. 64,000 of them were released within six months, after tribunals, the remaining ones were either kept in the UK, or sent to Canada.
