Abstract
This introductory chapter cites that mass internment is a defining experience of both the First and Second World Wars. The new historiography showcases a greater awareness of the widespread reliance on the forced labor of civilians during the war, especially by imperial Germany. Even though the war had been researched in great detail, the phenomenon of imprisonment did not have the same public resonance as the other aspects of the conflict. Moreover, the proliferation of internment camps as a biopolitical tool of governance is regarded as one of the salient legacies of World War I. The chapter lists the three broad categories of internment: military prisoners, civilian prisoners, and political prisoners.
