Yeah, likely not going to happen again.The days of early post-colonialism are over. Unless outcry against ZANU happen, the chances of a reformed Zimbabwe/Rhodesia are slim to none.
Rise, O voices of Rhodesia, God may we Thy bounty share. Give us strength to face all danger, And where challenge is, to dare. Guide us, Lord, to wise decision, Ever of Thy grace aware, Oh, let our hearts beat bravely always For this land within Thy care.
Rise, O voices of Rhodesia, Bringing her your proud acclaim, Grandly echoing through the mountains, Rolling o'er the far flung plain. Roaring in the mighty rivers, Joining in one grand refrain, Ascending to the sunlit heavens, Telling of her honoured name.
The loss of Rhodesia was the greatest loss of all Africa. Had they left her alone, she could have lifted all nations round her, and would have eventually empowered the black Africans in a sustainable and dignified way.
This is the stupidest thing I've read in a while. The settler minority could not even lift the indigenes of Southern Rhodesia out of poverty. How could they Africa?

Foreign relations Rhodesia will be on of the few countries to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and has the embassy there. Rhodesia will might have some tension with South Africa due to land exportation without compensation, recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
I don't think Rhodesia ever did recognise Jerusalem as the capital...at least not out loud....I know Israel supported Rhodesia (at arm's length mind). Maybe if Rhodesia was still around today, who knows? I do know though, that Rhodesians would've always backed the underdog, like Israel, Ulster etc. But it would've also backed other countries in a similar position to which it was in during the 70s, such as Bosnia, Croatia, Armenia and Syria. Probably Ukraine as well.
A best Rhodesia is one of peace, Zimbabwe today and Rhodesia then we’re never as good as what could’ve been Rhodesia, freedom for all… peace in the bush…. Rivers clean of poison… strong government…
A Land i never been, Too young but i Love it as my Fatherland. Rhodesia forever. I am German. In a better World i want to visit my second Fatherland i often Dream of.
Okay Rhodesia is controversial for good reason but Zimbabwe Rhodesia felt like something that could unite both sides but then Mugabe came along and ruined everything
In fact it's turned around. Rhodesia used Ode an die Freude earlier then the EEG. 1970-1979 Republic of Rhodesia 1972 Council of Europe wants Ode an die Freude as anthem 1985 European anthem adopted by EEG
Segregation is the main problem in Rhodesia. If the Rhodesian Government treated the black people same as the white, i'm sure that they can last longer.
A country of unity, unification for all peoples but Noooooo…. Proof of that wasn’t good enough for the politicians… destroy her! Destroy Rhodesia. What a very sad shame. Welcome to America..

It's an apartheid state, you don't know any suffering there, but you Europeans you don't have ethics you understand only the voice of power, we are not powerful to resist you.
@@Kunta-Kinte002Oh you innocent, poor, defensless folk... Ever wondered what shaped the European mentality? Could it perhaps have something to do with actions of your own peoples?
There was no apartheid like South Africa's like the leftist comments claim, the Rhodesian army was two thirds black. Blacks were mostly poor and uneducated and the ones that weren't were fighting the government, that's why there were no Blacks in government. After Zimbabwe-Rhodesia was founded, and a Black majority government was established; Robert Mugabe, founder of ZANU, refused to lay his arms down (he wanted to eradicate all white Rhodesians from rule) and continued to fight, by attacking civilians, raping women, burning farms down, etcetera. And after he took over, he started to hunt down all ex-Military in the country and Whites mostly left the country out of fear of their lives. A country 8% white is now 0.2% white.
@@NygorakhonKekadhunamathe country was segregated. Native folk were forced on reservations. The government reserved most seats for Europeans. Polls revealed most people in the country didn't recognize their government. No.
Yeah it’s not as if the greatest classical composers of all time have all been Europeans. Definitely use one poor example to try to make your weak point
And what happened next? Famine, Hyperinflation, and Corruption. Ian Smith and Robert Mugabe were both racist. Ideally, the 1978 Internal Settlement would have created an equal Rhodesia, but given the choice between Smith and Mugabe, I want to the competent racist rather than the incompetent one.
