Interestingly enough, the modern idea of concentration camp was first used during the Anglo-Boer war. The Brits, in their civilized notion, rounded up all the women and childrens of the Boers and put them into camps. Giving them little to no food and forcing them to do hardship labours. Thousand died and this experience was one of the major reasons for the rise of the Nationalist attitude by the Boer, which gave rise to apartheid in the 50s.
