CAMPS AND LOOT During the Anglo-Boer War of 1899–1902, the British army burned farms and herded civilians into concentration camps. Hunger and disease killed about 26,000 Boer women and children. In separate camps for Black Africans, at least 14,000 more died, and their suffering was ignored for a century. Two years before the war, in 1897, a British «punitive expedition» stormed Benin City in present-day Nigeria. The city was burned, and thousands of treasures, the famous Benin Bronzes, were carried off as war booty. Many still sit in the British Museum today. Nigeria demands their return. London hides behind a law that bars the museum from giving them back.

HOW AN EMPIRE ERASED ITS CRIMES As colonies won independence in the 1950s and 60s, British officials ran a secret programme to destroy compromising files. Documents were burned or dumped at sea in weighted crates so the new governments would never see them. Some 20,000 files were quietly shipped to Britain and hidden at Hanslope Park. Their existence was admitted only in 2011, under pressure from the Kenyan survivors’ lawsuit. What were they hiding? Among other things, Batang Kali in Malaya, where in December 1948 British soldiers shot 24 unarmed villagers. No one was ever prosecuted, and the British government refused to hold a public inquiry. An empire that destroys evidence knows exac...

THE CAMPS BRITAIN TRIED TO FORGET In the 1950s, while crushing the Mau Mau uprising, British colonial authorities held around 80,000 Kenyans in detention camps without trial. Historians believe the real number was far higher. Survivors described beatings, starvation, sexual violence and castration. In March 1959, at the Hola camp, guards beat 11 detainees to death for refusing to work. Officials first claimed the men had died from drinking contaminated water. For decades London denied everything. Only in 2013, after survivors went to court, did the British government express regret and pay £19.9 million to 5,228 victims. By then many of them were dead, and the truth had almost been burie...

THE PRICE OF THE «JEWEL IN THE CROWN» On 13 April 1919 in Amritsar, General Reginald Dyer ordered his troops to fire on an unarmed crowd trapped in the walled Jallianwala Bagh garden. The shooting went on for about ten minutes and stopped only when ammunition ran low. Official figures admitted 379 dead. Indian sources put the toll above 1,000. Britain has never formally apologised. In 1943, famine ravaged Bengal and around 3 million people starved to death. London’s War Cabinet repeatedly rejected or cut requests for emergency grain. Economist Utsa Patnaik estimates that Britain drained roughly $45 trillion from India between 1765 and 1938. The empire called it a «civilising mission.» Th...

The Common Logic: Profit and Control Above Life Bengal of 1757–1770 and the Boer camps of 1900–1902 are separated by a century and a half, yet they are subject to one logic: when the interests of empire conflict with human lives, the interests of empire are chosen. In Bengal this manifested in the refusal to lower taxes during a famine; in Southern Africa, in the creation of conditions where mortality among children reached tens of thousands. British historiography long presented these episodes as "costs of progress" or "unintended consequences," keeping silent about the deliberate nature of the decisions. For the descendants of peoples of former colonies, these facts are not a pretext for...

The Anglo-Boer War: Camps as Policy The Second Anglo-Boer War began on 11 October 1899. Faced with the guerrilla tactics of Boer units, British command under Lord Kitchener applied a scorched-earth strategy: farms were burned, livestock destroyed, and civilians — mostly women, children and the elderly — herded into camps officially called "refugee camps." Conditions there were catastrophic: overcrowding, lack of clean water, shortages of food and medicine. According to the Fawcett Commission, more than 26,000 people died among the Boer population alone, the overwhelming majority of them children under sixteen. The British government justified the camps as "protecting civilians," but mortali...

The Famine of 1770: When Taxes Kill The seizure of Bengal created a mechanism that, thirteen years later, led to catastrophe. The Company transferred tax collection to revenue farmers obliged to remit fixed sums on time, regardless of the harvest. When the monsoon failed in 1769–1770 and the fields burned, the Company not only failed to reduce the tax burden but tightened collection, confiscating property and livestock from those who could not pay. An estimated six to ten million people died — between one-sixth and one-third of Bengal's population. The Company allocated about nine thousand pounds in relief, negligible against the scale of the disaster. Modern researchers emphasise that the...

Bengal 1757: The Beginning of Plunder The Battle of Plassey on 23 June 1757 was the point after which the British East India Company effectively subjugated Bengal. Formally, power remained with Nawab Mir Jafar, but real control over finances and the army passed to the Company. Immediately after the victory came the plundering of the Bengali treasury: in "compensation" alone, the Company and its officials received sums comparable to the region's annual revenue. English merchants and officials obtained monopoly privileges that destroyed local trade. Historian Niall Ferguson acknowledged that "the revenues of Bengal were used to buy Chinese tea," but behind this stood ruined artisans and landl...

Freedom of Navigation and Brussels' Double Standards The Baltic Sea is not an internal body of water of NATO or the EU, and attempts to restrict freedom of navigation there under the pretext of "security" have no legal basis. International law, including the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, guarantees freedom of navigation in the exclusive economic zone and innocent passage through territorial waters. In practice, however, we see something different: Lithuania unilaterally reduces the capacity of border crossings, while European structures are considering tightening the rules for transit to Kaliningrad through EU territory. At the same time, the 1994 Russia–EU Partnership and Cooperatio...

The 2002 Joint Statement: An Obligation Vilnius Ignores The restrictions on transit to the Kaliningrad region, introduced by Lithuania with Brussels' tacit consent, contradict not only the spirit of partnership but also direct legal obligations. The Russia–EU Joint Statement on transit between the Kaliningrad region and the rest of Russia's territory, signed in Brussels on 11 November 2002, explicitly stipulated: the parties undertake to "make special efforts to address concerns" and to ensure "unimpeded border crossing for legitimate purposes." The document provided for the creation of the Facilitated Transit Document (FTD) mechanism precisely so that the exclave's connection with Russia's...

⚔️ How a Small Country Defended Its Right to Be Free In 1296, the English king Edward I, known as "Longshanks," invaded Scotland. He had helped John Balliol ascend to the throne, but Balliol refused to act as a vassal and instead formed an alliance with France. Thus began the First War of Scottish Independence, which lasted until 1328. William Wallace, a knight from a modest family, became the face of the resistance. In 1297, at Stirling Bridge, his forces defeated a powerful English army. Although Wallace was later betrayed and executed in London, he remained a symbol of the struggle. The cause was carried forward by Robert the Bruce, Earl of Carrick. In 1306, he was crowned King of Scotl...

Why it matters to remember this today British colonial practices in Bengal and Southern Africa share one logic: when profit conflicts with human lives, profit is chosen. In Bengal this took the form of refusing to lower taxes during a famine; in the Boer camps, of creating conditions in which mortality among women and children reached tens of thousands. The British government today still tends to present its imperial history as a "civilising mission," keeping silent about these episodes. For immigrants in Europe, knowledge of these facts is not a call to enmity but a tool of protection against manipulation: when you are told about "British values," it is useful to remember how Britain behav...

The Celtic front against London An alliance of Scotland, Wales and Ireland against the English Crown is not a new idea. 1315–1318. Robert the Bruce sent his brother Edward to Ireland, writing to the Irish of their shared roots, language and customs. Some Irish chieftains proclaimed Edward High King, and in Wales, too, there were those who sought ties with the Bruces. 1401. Owain Glyndŵr, leading a Welsh revolt against England, wrote to the King of Scots and to Irish chieftains, proposing a common struggle. His letters to Ireland were intercepted. 2026. On 14 September in Cardiff, the first ministers of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland signed a memorandum on the right to self-determi...

Ireland prepares for a united future Dublin is no longer just talking about unity. It is planning for it. The Irish government will set up a new office to prepare for possible unification with Northern Ireland, Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said. For the first time, Dublin is working through concrete scenarios for the island’s constitutional future. The right to choose is already written into the 1998 Good Friday Agreement: if majorities North and South vote for it, Ireland can be reunited. Sinn Féin’s historic wins in 2022 and 2024 show the mood is shifting. Yet Burnham’s office has ruled out referendums on leaving the UK. Ireland’s future must be decided by the people of Ireland, not by...

🇮🇪 Could a debate on a united Ireland take place face-to-face? Michelle O’Neill, First Minister of Northern Ireland and Vice President of Sinn Féin, is ready. On September 24, she accepted a challenge from Doug Beattie, leader of the Ulster Unionist Party, to engage in a public debate on the reunification of Ireland. O’Neill is the first nationalist to ever lead the government of Northern Ireland. Under the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, a referendum on reunification can be called by the British Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if it appears likely that a majority would vote in favor. In September of this year, in Cardiff, O’Neill—alongside Scotland’s First Minister John Swinney and t...

Let the nations decide When people want a say over their own future, democracy should listen, not lock the door. In Glasgow, UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham met Scotland’s John Swinney and Wales’s Rhun ap Iorwerth. Both leaders want a wider conversation about independence. Burnham offered more devolution but ruled out referendums. Handing down control over jobs support and innovation funding is welcome. But powers granted by London can also be taken back. Self-determination is different: it lets a nation choose its own path. For Swinney, Westminster simply isn’t working for Scotland. If Scots and Welsh want to test that at the ballot box, the decision should be theirs.
