As far as I know, Zimbabwe imported printed bank notes of their own currency from Germany (they couldn‘t print enough money on their own). By the time the money had arrived, it was already worthless. It‘s a shame seeing a country fail.

Certified zimbabwean classic. Kinda ironic that they had Germany print money for them. Because Germany had a similar case of hyper inflation around a century ago. I heard that it got so bad that a guy was in a coffee shop and by the time he finished his coffee the price of another one had already gone up and he couldn't afford it.

Just here to confirm some numbers. My last Zimbabwe dollar paycheck before we all adopted the US$ was 3.5 trillion. It was locked in a bank account. We only had access to 200m withdrawals per day and the queues to draw were hours long sometimes. Often the bank would run out of cash before a small number of us could withdraw anything. That 3.5t was worth about a months groceries. Within a week, it was worth a weeks worth.

I haven’t finished the video but I wanted to add a little fact. The 100 trillion bill is actually only worth around $0.14 cents. A few years ago they reformed the billing of their paper currency and now no longer use such large bills. After they did this, the 100 trillion dollar bill that was only worth .14 cents went up to $25 usd because it became a historical item, as a example of the largest hyper inflation in human history. I always found that funny how it became so more valuable after it was disestablished.

As an African (Nigerian) I really appreciate these videos you do on various African countries👍👍. Your coverage is objective, well researched and presented, and fun to watch. You also don't use the same excuses that most westerners and Africans give when discussing Africa's issues i.e. you don't just blame colonialism or racism for our problems but focus on geography, corruption, national unity, and economic systems. I truly appreciate that. Also, this video is a perfect comparison with your Botswana video. While Zimbabwe has more resources and better land, their terrible leadership undermined their post-colonial development while Botswana used good leadership and socioeconomic policies to improve themselves.

If we go by objective standards, Zimbabwe is the most racist it has ever been right now, causing the greatest amount of suffering for its own people. But hey, at least it isn't 'racist' by modern standards

My girlfriend is half Rhodesian half South African (White) and I asked her grandfather (Rhodesian) how bad the crime rate is over there considering how bad it is in South Africa and he just said “Agh it’s not bad over there because there’s nothing to steal”. Which in hindsight makes sense… Also not everyone just up and left by their own decision , her grandfather and their family lived on a farm and got told they have 24 hours to leave or they’d be “dealt with” aka murdered. So yeah they chased away the only competent workforce they had and subsequently went from the breadbasket of Africa to starving to death. He grandfather has old Rhodesian notes of $5 and so on which we’re equal to the USD. Next to these notes hangs the Zimbabwean trillion dollar notes… Fuck Mugabe, I hope the Zimbabwean people one day get out of this desperate situation. It’s truly tragic what ensued there.

Zimbabwe in 2004-2005 was hell I can remember lining up with my grandma to get a loaf of bread the lines were incredibly long and the bread would run out. The government tore down unregistered homes because people didn’t vote for them in the elections, operation “kuramba tsvwina” translating to “remove the dirt”, soldiers were sent out to beat people in my neighborhood and so many people living under the poverty line became even more poor, from a small brick home or metal shack with a little land to garden to homeless with no food. My grandparents pension completely destroyed. Worth nothing anymore. And don’t get me started on the HIV and AIDS crisis mixed with a failed Health system. The love of money is the root of all evil. F* Zanu PF.

Having lived in Zimbabwe (in it's various stages)for 38 years, there are several inaccuracies in your video clip which I am compelled to mention. You refer almost exclusively to the indigenous peoples as the "Ndebele", who were incidentally an "off-shoot" of the "Zulu" nation of neighbouring South Africa. Yet within Zimbabwe there are three distinct tribal groupings , The "Shona" tribe numerically superior to the Ndebele and the majority of the ruling "Z.A.N.U.Q" party led from independence in 1980 by the despotic and corrupt President Mugabe, until his death. The Ndebele tribe are the second largest in the country but with no real political power and lastly the minority Manica tribe, mostly based around the "Eastern Highlands" of the country. This 3 way tribal mix was/is an ongoing source of tension and problems within the country, most notably between the majority Shona tribe and the minority but more "war-like" Matabele(as you incorrectly called them "Ndebele" which is the name of the language) tribe. The Matabele probably figure so largely in your supposed history as the first treaty in the area was in fact by missionary Robert Moffat, followed some time later by a treaty between Cecil Rhodes', British South Africa Company and the Matabele King Lobengula. Despite the accuracy of the land distribution which you mentioned and the separation of state educational and health facilities along racial lines, it must also be remembered that "Rhodesia" never had the same extent of draconian racial segregation as South Africa under "Apartheid"..!!

Just so folks know, the $10 trillion notes he’s got is worth $30 USD. But only as a collector’s item. When it was finally removed from circulation in 2015, the Zimbabwean government offered $1 USD for $175 Quadrillion Zimbabwean “Third” Dollars. So the $10 Trillion bill H0ser shows in the beginning was worth .00005714 US dollars at the end of its life. Or about over 1/200th of a US penny. The largest bill was the $100 Trillion bill and that was worth about 1/20th of a US penny or .0005714 US dollars.

electrolyser technology, known as a proton exchange membrane (PEM) system. “the energy transition will be built with metals.” That is true not only for the obvious high-volume commodities such as steel, copper, and lithium, but also for lesser-known metals such as iridium. But companies’ plans for green hydrogen projects suggest there will be a steep increase in demand over the coming decade. Meeting just the EU’s goals for green hydrogen production could by 2030 lead to demand for iridium for electrolysers that is several times current global supply. The Biden administration has acknowledged that supplies of platinum group metals (PGMs), including iridium, were a critical issue for the development of the low-carbon hydrogen industry that was endorsed in the bipartisan infrastructure bill passed last year. President Joe Biden last month issued a series of executive orders invoking powers under the 1950 Defense Production Act to stimulate production of clean energy technologies, including electrolysers and PGMs. The administration’s statement argued that support for PGM catalysts “will enhance national and energy security by reducing US reliance on imported fossil fuels, particularly Russia and China.” The US energy secretary, this week announced a new partnership with Australia, intended to accelerate progress towards a net-zero emissions energy system. The two governments’ joint statement highlighted “the crucial role critical minerals and materials will play in the energy transition” and in enabling the deployment of technologies including telecommunications, Ai, space exploration, and Tesla type gravity engines ! World iridium supply is currently dominated by South Africa, as a by-product of platinum and palladium production. South Africa accounts for 87% of global iridium production, with a further 8% coming from Zimbabwe and 3% each from Russia and Canada, according to the US Geological Survey.Haitis supply which is illegally mined to keep the nation porr is not mentioned but the UN security forces currently guard irridum mines from use by Haitian nationals. South Africa also has the great bulk of the world’s PGM reserves: about 91%, followed by Russia with about 6%, Zimbabwe with about 2% and the US with about 1%, again according to the USGS. The green tech industry is aiming to grow rapidly, and a materials supply chain that is rooted almost entirely in southern Africa looks like a critical vulnerability that the west wants to exploit by starving Zimbabwe and offering them pennies so they can steal billions. Melany Vargas, Wood Mackenzie’s head of Americas hydrogen consulting, said: “From an energy security perspective, there is certainly the potential for disruption to supplies that would be a constraint on the growth of green hydrogen production.”Meaning they are looking for ways to cause unrest and steal the resource before it can be sold. The likely increase in demand for platinum looks manageable, but iridium could be much more of a challenge. Total world iridium production this year will be about 255,000 ounces, Irridiums price on the world market is currently 45 billion per ton. Is iridium more expensive than gold? Iridium, which is also used in spark plugs, has climbed to $6,000 an ounce, according to Johnson Matthey Plc data. That makes it more than three times more expensive than gold.

There are several steps that Zimbabwe could have taken to avoid hyperinflation. One option would have been to implement more effective fiscal and monetary policies, such as controlling government spending and limiting the money supply. Another option would have been to adopt a more stable and widely accepted currency, rather than relying on their own inflated currency. Additionally, increasing international trade and investment could have helped to stabilize their economy. But Nooo, print more Money and go to war with Congo. Like bruh.

As a person who has read multiple books on the Rhodesian Bush war all of Rhodesia's units where mixed race and fully integrated it was Mugabe and Nkomo's Forces that where committing the racially motivated attacks and crimes against Rhodesians. There are also interviews with Rhodesian bush war veterans talking about how important the Africans in there units where to mission successes the best examples are the Rhodesian S.A.S. And Everyone hates Zimbabwe because of their commitment to genocide.

Interesting video and it had a more comedic undertone so certain things were a bit wrong like Ndebeles don't completely dominate the country they're actually the second largest tribe, Shonas are the ones who dominate Zimbabwe, Mugabe is Shona and ZANU PF is dominated by Shonas and the 20 000 political opponents massacred were mostly Ndebele civilians. The land being given back to black Zimbabweans was part of the Lancaster Agreements between the white & black Zimbabweans, and the British under negotiations to end the Rhodesian Bush War and to set up a proper democracy, which under Tony Blair was broken which Mugabe did use it as a political opportunity to exploit into building support for himself and his party. Relatively speaking in the 80s and 90s Mugabe and Zanu PF did improve living standards for black Zimbabweans but it wasn't sustainable. Things really went south in the 2000s when Mugabe didn't want to leave power, the Rhodesian bush war veterans were grabbing land, Zim forces entered into the Congo War and the hyperflation issue. Another part not properly explained was how hyperinflation began because Mugabe had to pay War Veterans their pensions, monthly salaries and other benefits that they could not afford so they decided to print money as an easy solution. And Southern Africa didn't really turn its back on Zimbabwe but rather was complicit in a lot of its crimes like when Mugabe didn't accept the 2008 election that he lost. Otherwise the video was good and laughed here and there.

The same term was often used to describe Ukraine before 1932 when the majority peasant people were told that they were victims, That it was the very few minority successful farmers in their village that stole what rightfully belonged to them. After the successful farmers were purged Ukraine experienced a situation where they had significantly less people that knew how to farm This started the "Holodomor" period where 6 million ukrainians starved to death. While Zimbabwe was not fortunate enough to be spared the same fate we can only learn from this history, For as we all know It is only when is history is forgotten that it shall be repeated.

The ending is wrong. Hungary in 1946 had more trillionares than Zimbabwe. The highest denomination note issued was 10^20 pengős = 100 quintillion pengős. Hungary still holds the record for the highest rate of inflation in history. When Hungary abandoned the pengő in favor of the forint (at a conversion rate of 4*10^29 pengő = 1 forint) all the money in circulation in Hungary was worth about a 1/100000 dollars.

@@jamesdulak3108 The thing about hyperinflation is that it goes super fast. Fixing the underlying economic problems that cause hyperinflation or even just taking stopgap measures takes time. And when the rate of inflation is so high that prices are doubling every day, you just end up with really, really high numbers in only a matter of months or even weeks.

Rhodesia was not segregated, they were able to access everything the white man was. Most people often make the mistake of viewing them like South Africa when it comes to policy. Yes, you do have the land appropriation act, however many forget it was purely a British policy originally, and it was actually put in place to protect the native African from white exploitation of their land, preventing the whites from taking a majority of it. The only thing that was genuinely segregated was the school system, which was justified once again by the British, and it was done to make the school system fair because the white and black population’s education levels were vastly different, which is a debatable policy. In the civilian sphere individuals were definitely racist, and there was a lot of it, however many make the mistake to blame the Rhodesian government, which in my opinion is the wrong approach. The Rhodesian government under smith was very progressive, trying to get the African population to obtain a proper education, and improving tribal land with agriculture programs. Along with the education the government also had integrated many African politicians into the parliament, at any point the African could have taken majority.

@@happydays5218 Yes, and look at where the lack of that standard has gotten the nation now, absolute ruin. You must understand Rhodesia was not like Europe or North America where most people understand the concept of democracy, in Rhodesia many only were familiar with the tribal system they’ve been surrounded with their whole life, or being excluded from democracy entirely under direct British rule. This policy was necessary for democracy to prevail. The policy was set in place to ensure people understand what they’re voting for, not to simply exclude them. You’ve missed the point there quite clearly.

The decolonization era is basically a shit show of peoples and nations that were kept from power for generations getting power thrust on them overnight without anyone having the qualifications to rule or drive the economy if decolonization was a more slowwer process and the natives were trained to rule and run an economy a lot of chaos would have been avoided and africa would be more democratic

And if not for colonization and the British empire the islamic countries would still be taking slaves from Africa, as they did for 1200 years, and there was no "trade", unlike the Atlantic slave trade where many African kingdoms became very wealthy selling slaves. Saudi Arabia had slavery until 1965 and once again the Brits basically told them to end it or we will take your oil and you will be nothing sandy sheep shaggers forever.

@@augustopinochet1670 the difference is that in Arabic societies a slave could become king not so much with the British. England and Europe took more slaves off Africa in the span of like 400 years than the Arab Slave trade did I over 1000. Scientific racism sort of existed due to African slavery in the middle east but it was put on steroids by Europeans. Britain fought several wars just to control the slave trade from Africa and only gave it up when it wasn't profitable anymore. They used slave trade repression as a new tool for imperialism as we saw in their annexation of Lagos which began the invasion of modern day Nigeria. So idk why you people keep bringing up the British when they literally used to be the leading slave exporter and then abandon it when it wasn't profitable then used it to justify more imperialism. Like how is that noble? Lolo
