      My great grand-parents actually kept some bundles of money around from the inflation in the Weimar Republic and my grandma gave me a bundle of 100.000 Mark notes after I kept begging her when i was a child, the notes were already outdated when my great grand-parents got them and the combined sum wouldn´t have been enough to buy them a loaf of bread, funnily enough, it was about twice what the Weimar Republic had been ordered to pay in Reparations for the first World War.

    Cecil Rhodes didn't "invade" Zimbabwe. He initially had an agreement called the Rudd Concession with the King of Matabeleland for exclusive mining rights and rights to defend their mines in exchange for a % of the profits and weapons. This eventually resulted in Matabeleland raiding area's of Company settlements and activity, which led to the first Matabeleland War. I'm not saying Rhodes was some nice guy and it was a honki dori situation, but the British didn't just enter the country and start blasting, they tried "buying" the land first.
