SOUTHERN RHODESIA
Former name
of that chunk of southern east Africa now known as Zimbabwe. A somewhat
concentrated state emerged about 500 years ago, financed from the gold
trade. That state attracted traders as far away as China, and build
large structures for us to appreciate. In the late 19th century a
British guy launched a private war to seize the country. His franchise
was bailed out by the British government. Independence has been problematic
so far. Better to make one's own mistakes than to have someone else
make them for you, eh?
