What could the whites have done to win the war and maintain the state of Rhodesia?

give voting rights to everyone and educate the population,

To not be Rhodesia. The only reasonable thing would be to relinquish white domination immediately, thus giving the west more reason to prop it up as a bulwark against communism. That way, it could be a mediocre African country today instead of an extremely shit African country.

They gave everyone voting rights when formed Rhodesia-Zimbabwe, it didn't achieve worldwide recognition and the war continued

stop being racist cunts, give equal rights and ally with nkomo and moderate blacks against mugabe

not equal voting rights, white constituencies who were about 6% of the population got about 20% of the seats, this hamfisted system made it impossible for a coalition to be formed that would keep Mugabe from power

They have to go back

Have international support...

Why even letting it continue?
By 1960's there where 300,000 whites left in Rhodesia while africans were almost 8 million.
Why are /pol/tards and white bongs so much obsessed with protecting Rhodesia?
If it was liberalized and given equal voting rights to all of population, whites would become hated minority and have the same fate of whites in modern South Africa.

The only way your precious Rhodesia to exist, would be to deport deport every african to Zambia or Mozambique and making it "ethno state" that would collapse due to depopulation.

Genocide. But the politicians didnt have the spine for it and thought they could get away with giving the blacks rights and that was their end.

>thinking nomadic tribesman could be brought up to speed onthe same level as people who were properly educated up to modern standards

How about the western world let's the government keep annihilating communist nigger warlords?

Not be opposed by every other country on earth besides Portugal and South Africa.

But literally everyone already had voting rights.
All they had to do was pass a literacy test.
Blacks were not precluded from the vote based on race, only their own illiteracy.
The niggers just chimped out, as you might expect because they are unable to distinguish between inequality of opportunity and inequality of outcome.
The same problem is occurring throughout the rest of Western Civilization, thanks to the mainstream promotion of neo-progressive, marxist thought.

If the trend continues, the end result will be the crushing end of Liberal Individualism, either by Marxist collectivism or by a racial awakening.

By doing the same thing Bechuanaland/Botswana did.

Absolutely nothing, Rhodesia was handling the war pretty well until the eternal anglo sperg out and started screaming MUH SANCTIONS.

what could they have done to convince the eternal anglo otherwise? it was probably a labour government that brought in these sanctions, the rhodesians could have done something to bring about a conservative government in the uk?

They could only have maintained their position through enforcing apartheid, which means being cut off from the rest of the world economically, which just isn't tenable.

The best 'Rhodesia' could have done is to have entrenched the idea of a qualified suffrage early, such that it didn't seem necessarily racialized. I.e. the vote only for those finishing secondary exams, but this'd only fly if schooling was universal and free.

...a property qualification would do even better to keep the socialists and redistributionists from taking power, but I find it hard to imagine that people possible anywhere in the late 20th century.

Genocide of every single black and no democracy, make Rhodesia a puppet kingdom for Britain.

You have 2 options, 1.) kill every single darkie 2.) give them equal political representation

Keep Mozambique in Portuguese hands. Commit troops to the armed conflict somehow defeat FRELIMO and keep Rhodesia trade avenue open.

Migrate all whites into a single province. Seperate abd form a new country, leaving the africans to rule the rest

They won most the battles on the ground, but they were utter failures when it came to foreign policy. In the end the only ally they were able to get to stand with them was Israel.

They were doomed by the western world
Ian Smith did nothing wrong

i thought we were talking about rhodesia, not the united states
