The reconcentration policy (Spanish: Reconcentración) was a plan implemented by Spanish military officer Valeriano Weyler during the Cuban War of Independence to relocate Cuba's rural population into concentration camps. It was originally developed by Weyler's predecessor, Arsenio Martínez Campos, as a method of separating Cuban rebels from the rural populace which often supplied or sheltered them.
