You neglected the bit when the first elections took place and Muzorewa and Smith ruled together and it was briefly known as Zimbabwe Rhodesia. Those elections were deemed free and fair by the international community and the country was on the road to democratic reform. Mugabe who was in exile complained that he should have been allowed to stand as a candidate. The British government rolled over and allowed it. Mugabe and his thugs went into the rural areas and intimidated the rural population and stole the election.

South Africa is going down the same path now.

I honestly don't think so. I think we have 3 paths ahead of us - Continued economic stagnation under the ANC, with life just gradually getting shitter and shitter, economic revolution under the EFF or even some new group, in which case we will rapidly become like Zimbabwe, or slow, steady improvement, quite likely under the DA (or a competent ANC leader) sometime in the next few decades. We've been improving rapidly since apartheid ended - our GDP tripled, crime went down by 50%, and things were going well. Our progress slowed down around 2013, and I believe that we've had these paths ahead of us since then. The important difference between South Africa and Zimbabwe is that the Rhodesian government only gave up power when they lost it, and it was taken by a very radical, angry group. Our government gave up power when they could have still comfortably held it, and ensured that it went to someone who wouldn't immediately ruin everything - Nelson Mandela. The ANC has definitely forgotten his legacy, but I think there are a lot of politicians, both in the ANC and the DA, that would like to bring it back.

The government thoroughly ran censuses starting in 1928 - Only the Rhodesians used the name "Rhodesia", after Northern Rhodesia was renamed Zambia, and didn't deem it necessary to differentiate itself. The Brits still called it Southern Rhodesia until 1980, to the protest of Rhodesians during negotiations. - Mugabe was never peaceful - He saw violence against Whites necessary in the struggle before his imprisonments already (A two-tongued commie is more likely than you think) - Unhealthy inflation rates started in 1980, with less than 10% inflation in only 2 years since then

And when I stated digging more it turned out that Internet coverage there is about 10-15% which is laughably low even for Africa. The skyrocketing HIV rates are also just like in all the pisspoor neighboring countries (and AIDS is _very_ closely related to sexual promiscuity and in turn sexual promiscuity is a recipe for an economic disaster since children born out of wedlock in the Third World almost never get any proper education and thus when they grow up they only parasite on the economy if they don't also harm the rest of the population).

you forgot to mention the international economical sanctions imposed on the country.

I was just in Zimbabwean, there is a very different perspective from local Zimbabweans. Beautiful people hope the country recovers to its prosperous times.

You forgot to mention that Rhodesia held their own elections two years prior to the end of the war that saw a coalition black/white government formed with a black PM at the lead. The country was renamed Zimbabwe-Rhodesia at that time. You also glanced over the fact that Mugabe’s forces shot down two civilian airliners, after one incident the went so far as to execute the white survivors, including four year old children. His forces also conducted a massacre of church officials that included bayoneting a three week old. During the run up to his election murder and intimidation in the tribal trust areas got so bad the the British observers complained to Margaret Thatcher. But this went unheard. The Rhodesian military had contingency plans for a illegitimate election however Gen Walls preferred a cushy new job to ensuring a legitimate election.

One of the biggest mistakes people make when talking about Southern Africa is to view things purely in terms of race. This overlooks the fact that many of the Whites are African themselves.

This is the problem when people apply such broad brush strokes to history, it's never that simple. The notion the the area was some kind of pre-Colonial paradise is quite frankly ridiculous. The history of Africa has been particularly tumultuous, with virtually the entire Continent being in a permanent state of conflict. People seem to have formed this idea that Rhodesia mirrored South Africa or the American South but that's simply not true. The country really was a paradise & a reasonably happy place for people of all colours to live. Obviously there was an imbalance of power & the majority didn't have the vote but tell me somewhere that doesn't have an imbalance. What matters is whether Govt is effective or not.Talk to any Zimbabwean who remembers Rhodesia & they'll tell you it was a better place to live back then. I have family there. They weren't wealthy landowners, they owned a butchers in Hwange, in what was a friendly & relatively peaceful community & even though they'd been there for over 5 generations, Mugabe appropriated nearly all the white-owned farms & businesses to give to his cronies. The situation was hugely exacerbated by the fact that the vast majority of these farms & businesses, which had been run successfully for many, many years, were given to people who had no knowledge of farming or business & subsequently ran them into the ground. This & the fact that Mugabe refused to allow them access to seeds or fertiliser, meant the crops failed & people starved. If any of you are genuinely interested in the true state of Zimbabwe under Zanu PF there's an excellent documentary made by a New Zealand lady who went looking for her childhood friend which is here on YT. Sorry for the long post but as you can probably tell, it's a subject which is close to my heart.

And the new country of Zimbabwe became a paradise on earth which was later the inspiration for the fictional country of Wakanda thus proving the wisdom of the UN and Britain.

Along the likes of Haiti and Ethiopia, Liberia is a definite proof that blaming the white man for blacks' ineptitude in running their own countries has nothing to do with reality, since each and every one of these nations has been under black rule for 170 (Liberia), 200 (Haiti) and 2,000 (Ethiopia) years by now. And yet each and every one of them is an utter shithole, no better and actually even _worse_ than those which emerged from under colonial administration relatively recently. Compare Liberia to Ghana, Haiti to Jamaica and Ethiopia to Nigeria to get the full picture. In Liberia, the freed blacks just established themselves an intra-black apartheid, one that was a hundred times worse than anything in South Africa or Zimbabwe since the native blacks were given absolutely _no_ option to improve their living and educational standards-and not just because their American-born overlords usually had little education themselves but mostly because they had that unfounded sense of ethnic superiority over them and actually even modeled their houses on the American South and held scam elections every once and again. But that was it: the economic development was nonexistent aside from diamond extraction, with all the profits landing in the pockets of the selected few. The natives lived like animals, as they always had. There was essentially no literature to speak of until around the latter half of the twentieth century-it's telling that virtually any article on the history of Liberia, after briefly outlining the general social hierarchy, will make a straight jump from independence to Charles Taylor: that's because even the purported Liberian "elites" hardly ever bothered putting down whatever happened around them, if they were even able to. They made almost no drawings of their own houses and churches, let alone photographs. In other words, hardly more civilized than those they called savages. Needless to say, throughout the 19th and 20th century they invited hundreds of foreign mining companies which were basically given a free hand exploiting the locals. For all intents and purposes, it was a colony-but a colony made so by its very willing own government.

Ransford used to present history programmes on Rhodesian television.

Greetings, I liked Rhodesia, not Zimbabwe

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 🌍 The Formation of Rhodesia - The modern landlocked nation of Zimbabwe evolved from the territory once known as Rhodesia. - Cecil Rhodes, a British business industrialist and mining magnate, secured exclusive mining rights in the territory. - The territory went through different stages, from British South Africa Company rule to becoming the British Crown Colony of Southern Rhodesia. 02:18 📈 Economic Boom and Growth - Rhodesia experienced an economic boom after World War II, driven by the production of tobacco and chrome. - A significant influx of working-class British families contributed to a rapid population increase. - The white population grew from 100,000 to 300,000 and eventually reached 600,000, approximately 10% of Rhodesia's total population. 04:10 🤝 The Inclusive Government and Mugabe's Early Years - After achieving independence, Robert Mugabe became Zimbabwe's first Prime Minister. - He initiated an inclusive government, incorporating members of opposing political parties. - Mugabe initially aimed for racial harmony and received support from both Great Britain and the United States. 06:13 🌪️ Mugabe's Later Years and Decline - In the 1980s, Mugabe's economic reforms started to fail, and anti-white rhetoric increased. - Land seizures from white farmers and the economic downturn led to massive inflation. - Mugabe's later years were marked by a decline in economic and political stability. 07:25 🇿🇼 The Mugabe Coup and Transition - In November 2017, Robert Mugabe was placed under house arrest by the Zimbabwe National Army, marking a significant turning point. - His wife, Grace Mugabe, was seen as a potential successor. - The military coup was accompanied by political and international developments, leading to Mugabe's impending exit from power.

HI Epimetheus. Thanks for this detailed summary of Zimbabwes history. Although i think i think i have a pretty decent understanding of the english language, which is not my native, i find it a bit complicated to follow your explanations. Unfortunately i think the subtitles are not completely correct. Maybe you could check them for any mistakes. Thank you very much

Man this was definitely a fair and balanced review of history. Glossed over some pretty important stuff, like the ZANU and ZAPU terror attacks, where they'd kill and force people to eat their own family members.

uhm what happened at "Lancaster House Agreement" again ?

I hope all this political upheaval does not interrupt Zimbabwe's preparation for the 2019 Cricket World Cup. I think they really have a shot at making the playoffs this time.

No, its not Africa's equivalent to Ancient Rome, but its a massive city built out of an estimated million or more stones, which contains domes, and lots of intricate passageways, all done without mortar, which is an impressive feat for a people who, as far as we know, didn't do much writing. To me, its most likely "great" because its the largest city of its kind [in other words, its the biggest out of two hundred other cities like that] in the region.

If you must know, I'm standing on the kind of moral ground my civilization has produced. You, on the other hand, can't stand of any sort of moral ground that _your_ civilization has produced since it never has. All that you take for granted in terms of what's right or wrong, most notably that "racism" buzzword you keep throwing at anybody who dares criticize you-all of it was taught to you by the Europeans. it was them who told you that the fact that your ancestors either bought your ancestors at the slave market a few centuries ago or colonized them was something to be ashamed of. Which it wasn't by the way. The slaves who weren't lucky enough to be bought by the Europeans in West Africa would get either killed on site or sold to the Ottomans-and let me tell you, there is a reason why these left almost no descendants in modern Turkey. On the other hand, colonization of Africa gave this continent modern education and industrialization such as it had never known. It's telling that quite possibly the worst African shithole out there, Ethiopia, prides itself on never having being colonized by the Europeans-even though it would in all likelihood have looked much better had it indeed been colonized in the past. If you look at the history of black people across the world, all of their social improvements were caused by the white man _wanting_ too give them said improvements. The African colonies were given up not because they were hard to control but because they were no longer profitable. Slavery in the New World was abolished because _white people_ protested against it. The same goes for the Civil Rights' Movement. At neither point did the blacks hold any cards in their hands. They couldn't rebel against being enslaved, they were too few, too disorganized and, let's be honest here, too uneducated to do it. Similarily, nobody would have given two fucks about MLK and his speeches had he not managed to rally some whites behind him. Blacks were an extremely insignificant portion of the economy, while contributing _much_ more to the crime rates. They were not only completely unnecessary to the American way of life, they were actually making it _harder_ for anyone else. But since they suckered in some whites-who actually had power and influence-the governments had to give in. It's as simple as that. However, let me tell you that you're more than welcome to tell me how uneducated I am, how I should go find Jesus and make sure you pepper it with all the "lols" and "lmaos" known to man because Lord knows that the idea of blacks being responsible for their own misery is oh-so-ludicrous. You know, like a respectable YT Thirdworlder would.
