YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn 1965, Ian Smith declared independence from Britain to preserve British civilisation. Fifteen years later, Zimbabwe was born and the collapse began.
In this video, Freya breaks down how one of Africa's most functional states was dismantled, not by military defeat, but by Western liberal idealism that demanded revolution over evolution.
