Do you know the story of Rhodesia?

[DonaldDarko]

Once A great and prosperous land.

All I really know is that it was named after British bag of shit Cecil Rhodes.
"It was administered by the British South Africa Company (which was owned by Rhodes) in the 19th century and exploited mostly for its gold, copper, and coal deposits. In 1911 it was divided into Northern and Southern Rhodesia (present-day Zambia and Zimbabwe, respectively); Southern Rhodesia became a self-governing British colony (1923) and Northern Rhodesia a British protectorate (1924). They joined with Nyasaland to become the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland (1953–63).

"From 1964 to 1979, Rhodesia was the name used by the former Southern Rhodesia, first as a British colony (1964–65), then as a self-declared independent country without international recognition (1965–79)."

Bag of shit you say, what did he do to make you say such a thing?

[Lliam]

He was a British imperialist and grew wealthy through exploitation.
He was one of the handfull of British aristocrats who secretly engineered WWI in order to maintain dominance over German industry and trade.
Human life meant nothing to him.

One of those people. No one ever does anything bout them. Imagine if someone would have. All of history would have been different.

[Lliam]

Right? Instead, they become world leaders and history books celebrate them.

Too much information for people to take in maybe.
