          My argument would be that Indian reservations were concentration camps, although they predate the use of the term.

          I’m aware the Spanish did it in Cuba in the late 1800’s, and the British did during the Boer war, but were the British doing it in advance of the relocation of Native Americans started by the US in 1830?

            Britains first colonial project was Ireland, which began around 1169 and intensified into the 1500s. They still occupy a part of the island and killings of unarmed civilians (sometimes children, sometimes shot in the back) are still being investigated and prosecuted.
