it’s where Hitler got the idea from.
Similarly Germans in Namibia.
British concentration camps in South Africa (1899–1902) were established during the Second Boer War, forcing over 100,000 Boer women, children, and Black South Africans into overcrowded, unsanitary sites. The camps were characterized by severe overcrowding, poor sanitation, inadequate food rations, and a lack of medical care, leading to massive outbreaks of measles, typhoid, and dysentery. Nearly 26,000 Boer women and children died, while over 20,000 Black Africans died
It was Created during the guerrilla phase of the Second Boer War, according to British officials , the camps were designed to prevent Boer guerrillas from obtaining supplies, shelter, and intelligence from their families and allies. Despite these claims , the primary target were Boer women and children, but also significant numbers of Black South Africans were interned in separate, often worse, camps.
These camps were, according to a some pro British historians that it’s not comparable to Nazi concentration camps, as its not designed for systematic extermination but for internment, although the resulting death rate was extremely high.
Whereas pro african historians claim that British officials doesn’t cared whether people died or not . British officials primary goal were imperialism
The British government has not issued a formal, official apology for the concentration camps used during the Second Boer War (1899-1902).
:(
Yeah, the British approach when faced with a Guerilla war was to round up EVERYONE living in the area, depopulating the entire countryside to remove the Boers’ support network.
Then they stuck the people in badly managed and badly supplied camps and gave only half (starvation) rations to the families who still had members outside fighting.A bit like what ICE is doing now.
Fuckers didn’t say thank you once.
/sssssssss
Yeah. Britain invented concentration camps for the Boer Wars.
