Concentration camps are far older than Valeriano Weyler.

The British long ago had one of the biggest concentration camps and they called it “Ireland”.

Heck, the Roman’S built Hadrian’s wall in 122AD and turned Scotland into a camp.
It’s a really old idea.

Actually the first concentration camps set up by the modern definition were by the British in South Africa during the Boer War. The Brits were brutal.

The Brits F-uped everything they touched in their colonial empire. The Brits ruled that empire with great success. They abandoned it after WWII as they were really a failed nation and much violence today in the former colonial colonials is the result. They abandoned their former empire simply due to economics. Britain’s collapse after WWII set in motion an unstable Middle East and much of Africa.

If one looks at a map of Britain’s colonies before WWII it stretched from Egypt to South Africa. They really screwed up that continent when they collapsed as world power.

Today on the subcontinent of India and Pakistan we have two nations on the edge of nuclear warfare. This is a result of the Brits abandoning their empire and drawing totally artificial lines between Pakistan and India. Both nations have very sophisticated nuclear arsenals. This might end not well.
