We invented the concentration camp for them....
Well sort of.
Dark chapter...
The Boer war was about gold and the British colonial government wanted their land
They were Dutch you see...
They were rounded up and put in camps until such time as they starved or learned to except the Empire ( making darth vader noises use your imagination )...
Among others we sent Sam Steel the greatest Mountie ever to form the back bone of new south African police force ( like Duddly Doright except he killed people )
A lot of Boers were killed or starved out.
It really was a shit show that history has white washed.
The Boers and white south Africans never forgot how they were treated and its part of the reason they had such a hate of for the blacks, Indians and one of the reasons they were not welcome in the common wealth ( along with the Rhodesian )
This is really corny but supposed to be a true story of a gambler that was escorted back to the USA for drawing a gun on him...
Another foot note:
Cuba had at one point 50,000 troops in Angola fighting south African and Rodeisan remnants for control of Angola in one of the bloodies of the African bush wars.
They were the only ones to every actually manage to put down the western and south African anti Marxist forces that had been fighting each other for decades since colonialism ended in the southern part of Africa.
The word shit show is an understatement...
The Olifant ( hard to see but there is a Centurion under all those upgrades sporting a 22 pounder or L7 gun...
South Africa made a lot of their own weapons because no one would sell them anything.
With a little help from Israel the South Africans also built some nuclear weapons as a back stop against further Cuban aggression..
They tested a proto type at sea with Israel.
The flash was seen but no one said nothing as it may have added more fire to Bush wars and shit show in general...
The black south African gov to this day has enough highly enriched Uranium for 6 bombs in a poorly guarded location that no one talks about quietly worries over...
Actual south African atomic bomb casings...
The bombs were to be dropped from Cambera bombers ( Lincolns too if things were desperate enough. Yes they still flew a variant of the Lancaster !!! no kidding they had to mend and make due )
History could have been very different.
British bomber crews would have dropped fat man in on Japan had modified B29s not been ready.
Huge bomb bay bigger than the lanc and longer range
Thus ends another episode of history lessons no one asked for lol...
