Who invented the concentration camp?

Permalink | 10/11/09 | Categories: State of the ART | by: A Sharp English (UK)

Where was the first concentration camp?

In Andrew Marr's "History of Modern Britain", a book currently being serialised on BBC television, the claim is made that it was the British, in the Boer War (1899 - 1902).

But is this true? I thought that their first appearance was about 5 years earlier, in Cuba's war of independence against Spain?

Is that true - or did someone else get the idea first?
