Today in Labor History May 17, 1900: Following the siege of Mafeking, during the Second Boer War, over 27,000 Boer women and children died in some of the world's first concentration camps. The Spanish had actually created similar death camps in Cuba during the Ten Year’s War (1868-1878). However, the death camps in South Africa were the first to be called concentration camps. Additionally, the Boer War concentration camp system was the first time an entire nation had been targeted. During the war, Mahatma Gandhi and 800 Indian slaves started the Ambulance Corps to serve the British. Just a few years later, 1904, the German Empire committed a genocide against the Herero people of southwest Africa, slaughtering 80% of them, and 50% of the Nama people.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1901, #AlfredMilner admitted Britain's inhumane #ConcentrationCamps from the #BoerWar were monstrous. 28,000 Afrikaners & 20,000 black Africans died in them; 22,000 were children. #LordMilner stayed in government until 1921, still overseeing the colonies.

"13 days of siege for a supply dump? Should've just ordered takeout! Guess we're just not cut out for long-term commitment. #SiegedAndDizzy #BoerWar"
β€” Paul Kruger

Aug 16, 1900 - The Battle of Elands River during the Second Boer War ends after a 13-day siege is lifted by the British. The battle had begun when a force of between 2,000 and 3,000 Boers had surrounded a force of 500 Australians, Rhodesians, Canadians and British soldiers at a supply dump at Brakfontein Drift.
