Scenarios about 'prisoner of war'
Prisoners of war are combatants or non-combatants captured and held by an opposing force during armed conflict. Their treatment has evolved through history from summary execution or enslavement to protected status under the Geneva Conventions, with notable examples including massive POW populations during the World Wars. In alternate history scenarios, different POW treatment protocols often reflect divergent ethical frameworks, technological capabilities, or geopolitical realities of fictional timelines.
