What if the British concentration camps during the 2nd Boer War had been properly managed and provided for from the start to the finish (as opposed to suffering from criminally incompetent mismanagement in the middle). Let's say deaths from disease, poor sanitation, and hunger are cut down to a negligible minimum and the overwhelming majority of internees survive their stint in the camps without undue physical deprivations. How would this affect the way in which the remainder of the guerilla war plays out?
Would the British public's opposition to the war remain undiminished without Hobhouse's whistleblowing work? Would the Boer commandos still in the field be more or less inclined to give up their arms and come to the negotiating table? How would Afrikaner demographic growth after the war develop without the large number of deaths of individuals interned in the camps?
edit: This should go in post 1900. I don't know why I posted it here.
