Internment is the imprisonment or confinement of people, commonly in large groups, without trial.
Early civilizations such as the Assyrians used forced resettlement of populations as a means of controlling territory, but it was not until much later that records exist of groups of civilians being concentrated into large prison camps. The most notorious of such prison camps were the Nazi concentration camps.
