Explanation:

1. For "Japanese Americans were forced into internment camps during World War II, despite their contributions to the war effort": This is true. After Pearl Harbor, Japanese Americans (including citizens) were interned, and many had family members who served in the war (like the 442nd Regimental Combat Team).
2. For "African American and other ethnic minority groups fought not only for victory overseas but also for equality in the U.S.": True. The "Double V" campaign (Victory over fascism abroad, Victory over racism at home) was prominent among African Americans, and other minorities also sought civil rights while contributing to the war.
3. For "Mexican Americans were excluded from military service during World War II": False. Mexican Americans served in the military during WWII.
4. For "Ethnic minorities continued to face racial segregation and prejudice in both civilian and military life during the war": True. Segregation was still widespread in the military (e.g., African American units were segregated) and in civilian life (jobs, housing, etc.).
5. For "Ethnic minorities were fully integrated into the military and war industries during World War II": False. Integration was limited; the military was segregated, and discrimination existed in war industries (though there were some gains, it was not full integration).
6. For "The federal government guaranteed equal rights for all ethnic minorities during the war": False. There were no such guarantees; discrimination persisted, and civil rights advances were limited during the war.

So the three true statements are the first, second, and fourth options.

Answer:

• Japanese Americans were forced into internment camps during World War II, despite their contributions to the war effort.
• African American and other ethnic minority groups fought not only for victory overseas but also for equality in the U.S.
• Ethnic minorities continued to face racial segregation and prejudice in both civilian and military life during the war.
