Rhodeisa

But it's dead already...

No there not

I genuinely don't understand why white nationalists and such love Rhodesia so much. For one, the state (let's for the sake of an argument say it's a state, even though for whatever reason the UN refused to acknowledge it) only lasted for 14 years. That is not a long enough time to know if the policies it set in place were viable in the long term. More importantly, a top-down system like the kind they kept in place was becoming more and more unsustainable when post-WW1 the world had placed so much emphasis on self-determination for the majority.

There are have been barely any born in Rhodesia since the early 90's, most of the emigres kids don't even see themselves as Rhodesian

Muh noble lost cause

>UN can magically make regions exist
I bet you think Somolia is a united nation too

Maybe it wouldn't have all devolved into civil war if the British Rhodesian parliament didn't dismiss Garfield Todd's suggestions as "too radical"

I didn't say that, I just said they weren't recognized as an official state.

their sanctions can certainly affect the development of one

The sanctions that a ton of the richest countries in the world (including the US) ignored and traded with them anyway?

Anon let's not kid ourselves, that's not the real reason those people love Rhodesia, because there were plenty of other countries able to do the things you listed that didn't have one other particular factor. It's the same reason they liked South Africa.

yeah its real impressive former commandos with complete air superiority beat a bunch of barely trained guerrillas, of which i would be surprised if they all even had weapons

for real though he's completely right, 14 years isn't nearly enough time at all to predict the viability of a state
