The Rhodesian Bush War | Animated Short

[ЛеонидКим-нй]

What did Zimbabweans have before fire?
Electricity!

Rhodesia showed what Africa could have been. Zimbabwe just shows what Africa is, and its pathetically sad.

[jojomania]

Never forget that Rhodesia was on a way to abandon their system that was not even close to as bad as the one in South Africa. They put more and more black people in to their congress and more. It could have all been good but we all see what Zimbabwe is now.

… and after independence, everyone lived happily ever after.

My granny was a nurse in this war she has some pretty cool stories from it

[LordEsel]

Forgot to mention that Zanu and Zapu were backed by the Soviet Union and China. Mugabe turned out to be an extremely bloodthirsty dictator.

Edit: I mistakenly wrote North Korea instead of China.

[drgonzo]

And President General Mugabee led Zimbabwe into 40 years of peace and prosperity healing the racial divide and solving all problems

[gmmuller]

I know a couple of rhodesian bush war vets here in Aus, too blokes, tough as nails too, not surprising they held out so long with such little support

[leftoverpastaz]

Little bit not said:
A) ZANU and ZAPU were communist/ Socialist factions getting arms from the USSR so definitely the bad guys
B) Mugabe was one of the most brutal dictators in Africa

"We say Zimbabwe now dont we?" "Do we?"

I wish I was a blue job in the sky, why would I walk if I can fly

How did independence work out for them? Asking for a friend.

[aheat]

Don’t forget that Israel was also a big supporter of Rhodesia.

[warringtonfaust]

It is well to remember that most of the black population (80%) were immigrants or the descendants of immigrants. That means they sought out British protection from tribal wars and much more.

[EttaKamenatios]

If we don't change anything, the whole world will soon turn into Zimbabwe.

[Arctonaut]

Zimbabwe? The hell is that? Rhodesians never die.

[lynxia]

And then the Rhodesians had their cake and ate it too, end.
