Narrative
In September, 1938, planning began regarding the internment of Enemy Aliens, including the selection of sites for camps.
After the war started, tribunals were set up to categorize Enemy Aliens among the following categories:
* A, those to be interned
* B, those not interned, but restricted
* C, those to be at liberty
by the middle of October, 1939, Enemy Aliens started to be interned.
In May, 1940, concerns regarding a German invasion prompted an order to intern all Enemy Alien males between ages 16 to 70.
By the end of May, 1940, orders were given to arrest and intern all male and female Enemy Aliens.
Ultimately, camps included Enemy Aliens, political prisoners, and illegal refugees.
In addition to Great Britain and the Isle of Man, camps were established in Australia, Canada, Cyprus, Kenya, Mauritius, and Palestine.
