#Trump repeatedly mentions he all alone has stopped 8 wars, which is why he deserves the #NobelPeacePrize and not just the #FIFAPeacePrize. However, I can only remember the #AmericanCivilWar, the #BoerWar, #WWI, the #SpanishCivilWar, #WWII, the #KoreanWar and the #VietnamWar. I forgot which one?

Managed to get this for a steal. This is what all the jingoistic kids of 1900 were blowing their noses with. Looking to get it framed as I have a fair amount to say about it in my PhD. Does anyone know any good framers of vintage snotrags? #BoerWar #Kipling #Conservation #framers #SouthAfricaWar

The UK is a pioneer of brutal #ConcentrationCamps for civilians. #ThisDayInHistory in 1900, #LordKitchener proclaimed that surrendering #BoerWar fighters could live safely in state camps. The next day he gave orders to round up the population and to starve families of militants.

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.

Also, world's very first concentration camp (holding all genders & ages, cq more than just a POW-camp) was not SA/BoerWar, not Namibia/Von-Trotha, not Cuba/Conquistadores, but at Wounded Knee....
Yes. You are correct. They looked at our history of slavery & the continued treatment of them as less than and were inspired to follow, but Hitler exterminated millions of not just Jews, but Germans & citizens of other countries. I hope we don’t allow this to happen here, but we’re on the road.
