It's all fun and interesting to see it on KZbin until you actually meet somebody that's actually lived through this

NOTHING COMPARED TO SOUTH AFRICA !!!!

hah nice, now imagine you're a black woman in rhodesia

Thank you, Britain, for handing Rhodesia over to destruction and perdition in your liberal self-righteousness. NOBODY gained from it. Isn't it ironical that the fate of little Rhodesia has now descended upon the once Great British Isles, just look at your land.. Karma's a bitch.

Looks better than Australia in those days

Beautiful country Run by communist terrorists British back stabbed the Rhodesians and the world back stabbed the South Africans. But in the end the free market is all that’s left for the communist BASTARDS and they are learning the truth

How blacks can destroy

Rhodesia was God’s own country. Now it is hell on earth. No hope of it improving either.

Went there on holiday as a child. Always thought I would go there again. I'm South African. We are in the same boat.

A ruined country...... poor Rhodesia.

Apparently at one stage it was a really beautiful country.

NO TEMPO EM QUE OS PORTUGUESES ERAM BANDIDOS !

3:33 "That's two bucks a word, Galaxy. You owe me!" - Diplomat, _Project Wingman (2020)_

Post-Brexit UK looks pretty much like Zimbabwe so not sure what all the commenters are on about. 14 years of Tory rule has turned it into a third world nation. 😉

I was raised in Zim during the Bush War, 1968-79. For the privileged few, Zim was wonderful. For the vast majority - regardless of the appalling future under Mugabe et al. - it was hell. The settlers kicked the natives off the fertile SW-to-NE plateau and into the hot, low-lying lowveld, racked by sleeping sickness and malaria, where they had to live in poverty-stricken, so-called "Tribal Trustlands", (= South African bantustans). Race laws mandated where one could own land and live. Successive white governments spent much on white education while severely restricting the education of indigenous Zimbabweans. Indeed, a law passed in the 1930s explicitly prevented the education and training of black Zimbabweans for anything beyond semi-skilled work; they could not legally attend technical colleges, let alone universities. Until 1977, only privately funded mission schools and (ironically) the black colleges and universities of apartheid South Africa permitted Zimbabweans to acquire the knowledge and skills demanded by modern economies, so that there were far too few indigenous Zimbabweans ready to take over the roles vacated by whites. Almost all white families lived in swish bungalows surrounded by beautiful tropical gardens, which contrasted greatly with the terrible living conditions of many residents of Britain. It was typical for white Rhodesian families to have two to four servants, adults who were degradingly referred to as "girls" and "boys". These servants lived in squalid little huts tucked away in the corners of gardens, many with no electricity and no hot water. Many of these servants were separated from their families by long distances, worked long hours, received very little pay and no healthcare, pension, and unemployment benefits; it was usual for white families to peremptorily lay-off servants with no provision for their well-being. It was impossible for those fired to go to court. Servants received poor food: usually a monotonous diet of cheap white maize meal (sadza) and the remains of carcasses after whites had taken all the choice cuts; these bags of bones and offal were called "ration packs" and could be bought at any butchery. Many businesses had separate entrances and tills for non-whites. As a kid, I often felt wretched upon hearing white business owners treating black workers and customers as dirt. At school, many of my fellow (white) pupils were shockingly racist and took their racism for granted. However, it was only many years later that I learnt that the fathers of two of my school friends had been imprisoned by the Smith regime for opposing the ruling party's racism, leaving their wives and families in a difficult position. Ian Smith had fought in the Battle of Britain, but by the 1960s he was a short-sighted twerp who was worshipped unquestioningly by the vast majority of Rhodesian whites, even as many young white school-leavers were being maimed and killed. The Rhodesian Regime ran an extremely effective propaganda machine, leading whites as if they were cattle with rings through their noses. Many were led to the slaughterhouse. At its peak, the white population numbered about 250,000 while the black population at the same time numbered 6 million: the lowest ratio therefore being 24:1. Very rarely, I still bump into "when wes". This is embarrassing, as almost all "when wes" are still under the spell of the Rhodesian Regime and prone to spout paternalistic cr*p such as: "Our [!] blacks were the best-treated and happiest in Africa." Oddly, the worst of the worst are often those who actually fought during the Bush War, and their closest relatives. They know all too well the price exacted to maintain Ian Smith's "fools paradise". Yet, despite all that and the horrible continuous feeling of guilt, I admit that Rhodesia offered me a glorious childhood. But MY skin is white.

Ask the people who took over they have all the answers

The communist f*ck up big time here with there revolutionary nonsense they love poverty, corruption, killing whites and chaos (Mugabie and his useless cadres). This country would have been one of the most prosperous in Africa.What a shame and then they say its apartheids fault.

You should have played David Scobie's Taking The Easy Way Home as background music. He was from Rhodesia.

Breaks my heart, you do not want to know what it looks like now

I was born in Bulawayo life was perfect and safe for all until mugabe ruined the country

Before they used candles...they used electricity. Western liberalism caused this..

I visited Zimbabwe-Rhodesia (as it was then called) in 1979. When staying at the Victoria Falls Hotel, I saw a sign in my room saying, "In the unlikely event of a terrorist attack, please move to the central hallways." (Unrelated to politics, I also saw signs there while walking along the Zambezi River--which had virtually no visitors at the time--saying, "Beware of crocodiles." Kind of a scary sign when walking alone with nobody else in sight!)

I went to Zimbabwe in 1996. The old remnants of Rhodesia still existed, but it was dying noticeably, slowly and surely. Its currency was still strong but within a decade it wasn’t even worth the paper it was printed on.

As soon as you learn that the world is run by literally a handful of very wealthy Globalists who control when a War or conflict shall start and when it shall end, then you will finally understand how history really works. The role of the Media, which bytheway the wealthy Globalists also own, is merely to spin the story into a narrative which sounds plausible and reasonable but is never interested in proclaiming the Truth.

Let me guess ALL of you below are white? Rhodesia was a white racist nation built upon the backs of a black majority, just like SA and my nation the US. I love all these YT videos where you closest racist go see how wonderful it was before the MAJORITY of native kicked our colonial bullshit to the curb.

Socialism is attractive to the weak minded.

With Mugabe the culture shifted into darkness.

Ahh, the old :The place was so much better when the whites still ran it argument. It is exactly the Israeli defense: The place will fall apart if the Palestinians have an equal vote. You cannot deprive someone else of their human rights because you think it may impact your living standards. And this is a white South African posting, so speaking from experience

A lot of the group pictures like at 2:41 is a military personnel bbq. The tennis players are both RLI. It’s too bad that they couldn’t come to some sort of peace with out the rulers becoming crooks and bandits. It was doing so well, all they needed was black Africans to be represented. But to much ideology and things go to ruin.

Omg Youve got to be joking No way Zimbabwe once looked like this ! Stooopid ninjas !

Portugal against the world forces, who were trying to get the rich natural resources. In the end they dare to speak in the local peoples, who nowadays pray for the return of the Portuguese.

Never let the blacks try to do it for themselves - they need guidance. Left alone, they'll turn everything into chaos and violence. Add the ideology of socialism and endless corruption - voilà, there's Zimbabwe for you!

Always distrust those who come around saying that with them in power "life will be better and justice will be served". Because it's exactly opposite, regardless their political sign.

I’m cooked

Swiss are so badass, haven't participated in a war for 200 years, still are impossible to conquer, even the US couldn't traverse the mountains without an insane level of resistance. It's like Afghanistan if it had the best military equipment+ immense manpower from mandatory military service.

Until one fool called Robert mugabe and his clueless gang hijacked the country in the pretence of independence.... and destroyed everything... look at Zimbabwe today....

It is good to see the immigrants assimilating with the local culture. Bunch of racist imperialists. Disgusting country.

I wont lie, the place looked very beautiful organized and both black and white people looked civilized and respectable.

What a mess it became. Black people could not run a bath

Depends how u view freedom Fat cats bleeding the country dry Corruption Poverty Dictatorships Communism????

It's just so sad. It really is. All that could have been, all the petty squables that meant it coudln't. Ashamed of being British when it comes to how we handled Rhodesia.

This is how WW2 footage should be shown, not with cheesy action music and cartoon gun sounds, but with nothing but haunting and foreboding music over terrifying imagery.

South Africa is a half done project. Wish they'd complete it and then move on to Europe.

0:43 love how type 38 arisaka cycle made such a unique sound ❤

Damn it looks like it's about to establish diplomatic relationships with the USSR and become Zimbabwe that will spend the rest of the days blaming evil colonisers for destroying their country 😂😂😂
