Description
Amid the colonial upheaval of the 1960s, Britain suggested its colony in Southern Rhodesia (up to date-day Zimbabwe) to grant its black residents a better role in governing the territory. The white-minority government refused and shortly declared its independence, a move bitterly opposed by the black majority. The end result was once the Rhodesian Bush War, which pitted the federal government against black nationalist teams, one in all which was once led by Robert Mugabe. Marked by unspeakable atrocities, the war resulted in favor of the nationalists.
