Concentration Camp

"Concentration camp" redirects here (internment). For specific contexts see Nazi concentration camps (World War II, holocaust), List of Gulag camps (1918–1991), and Second Boer War concentration camps (Second Boer War). Not to be confused with Interment (burial) or extermination camp... Interned persons may be held in prisons or in facilities known as internment camps, also known as concentration camps. The term concentration camp originates from the Spanish–Cuban Ten Years' War when Spanish forces detained Cuban civilians in camps in order to more easily combat guerrilla forces. Over the following decades the British during the Second Boer War and the Americans during the Philippine–American War also used concentration camps... Extermination camps or death camps, whose primary purpose is killing, are also imprecisely referred to as "concentration camps".[7] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internment
