The Rhodesian Bush War is a definition of "complete tactical victories but hampered by utter strategic failure".
-
This reminds me of something I read from the Bush War -Rhodies recover enemy rifles after each engagement -They keep finding rifles with the rear sight dialed in to the highest setting, practically fucking indirect fire -They are extremely confused by this -Eventually they ask a prisoner about it during interrogation -Literally none of them know what the sights are for, they think that choosing the biggest number makes the gun shoot harder Warfare in Africa is truly unbelievable
-
Never ask: A woman her age. A man his salary. The reason Rhodesia had a licensed copy of the UZI under the name “Ruzi”
-
I have a suggestion, the Portuguese overseas conflict was the conflict that was most associated with Vietnam, which is why it was called Portuguese Vietnam, it is a conflict little talked about, but it is one of the most emblematic conflicts of the decolonization era
-
It’s a long way to Mukumbura
-
This war was a fantastic example of why tactics and strategy are very different things.
-
There are so many complicated and compelling episodes of history like this from Africa. We need a video on the Angolan Border War, the Portuguese Colonial wars in Angola and Mozambique (that lead to final collapse of the Portuguese Empire), Biafra and the Ugandan invasion of Tanzania as a few.
-
Can you please cover the civil war in Myanmar? It is way too overlooked.
-
You should make a video about the Portuguese colonial war, a conflict that also took place around the same time the Rhodesian bush war took place
-
9:35, That pronunciation of Salisbury took a chunk of my soul with it.
-
One thing that should have been mentioned is that Smith's government had begun talks with Nkomo looking to unite against Mugabe, and after Mugabe was no longer a threat allowing black majority rule and Nkomo's leadership. This was as close as possible to an equitable solution but was permanently dashed when Nkomo's ZANLA shot down two civilian passenger planes flying tourists to Victoria Falls, murdering the crash survivors.
-
Finally a Rhodesia episode
-
Ian Smith once challenged Mugabe to walk with him through a densely-populated township (historically black-owned land near towns and cities) without any security and see who made it out alive. Smith was convinced of his position and favour amongst the black population right to the end. Mugabe refused.

My husband served in the SANDF from 2005-15 and he is very interested in his culture (his family members still live in Eswatini) and he loves this channel
-
Can you make a video on Portuguese colonial war?
-
I'm so glad he's finally covering this war. As a South African I can really appreciate this conflict being explained more because they don't teach this at school here in South Africa
-
Thank you guys for doing a video on this, you have no idea how few people actually know this part of history
-
It has been a long day. This video is a gift at the end of the day. Thank you.
-
So glad you guys finally did a video on this. Cheers from all the South Africans
