[h3]HISTORY[/h3] Like many territories of the British Empire, Rhodesia committed man power, money and resources to the war against the Central Powers. Thousands of Rhodesians fought alongside the colonial sons of an Empire and when the peace finally came, unsatisfactory and with a whimper, the people of Rhodesia turned on their British masters with disgust. The Republican factions within the government capitalized on the situation and, with many Monarchists dead or returned to Britain, declared a independence from the old country and made the decision to go it alone in 1931. Trouble started at once as the local tribes, long cowed by the might of the British Empire, they took a chance at freedom and demanded Rhodesia submit to tribal authority. A small scale but bloody conflict quickly broke out and the tribesman found themselves no match for the returning Rhodesian soldiers, battle hardened by years on the front lines against German, Austrian and Ottoman troops. In true Anglo fashion the Rhodesian government divided and conquered. Aligning themselves with certain tribes against others until the tribes were so busy fighting each other that they almost forgot the presence of their white overlords. Contrary to many other colonial powers, the Rhodesians quickly began to recognize the fighting quality of the tribesman and by 1943 the first Black Officers had been introduced into the Rhodesian Armed Forces even as fighting intensified across the country. Nothing unites discontent quite like a common foe and in 1945 the Portuguese, long masters of Mozambique, attempted to back an Eastern tribe in their bid to seize vital diamond fields from the Rhodesians. White and Black alike, the Rhodesians fought to turn back this new colonial menace. United in arms, they drove back the Portuguese Colonial troops, soldiers who had never seen action in the Great War, and actually advanced into Mozambique. Portugal panicked and quickly sued for a humiliating peace that saw them lose virtually all of south western Mozambique. Rhodesia had its first united victory and its first sea port. Tentative talks began between the factions within Rhodesia that looked promising until a tribal fanatic managed to penetrate security and blow himself and a dozen of the most promising political minds in the country into thousands of little pieces. By 1950 the country had descended into strife once again. The Free State of Rhodesia was born from the white minority who, terrified of the possibility of a massacre should Blacks gain control, stripped the rights from many. Only those Blacks who served loyally in the military during the Mozambique Campaigns retained their right to vote. The struggle for the country remains real as Rhodesia seeks to encourage white immigration, all the while attempting to stem the flow of Black refugees from neighbouring countries whose situation is somehow actually worse than Rhodesia's. Small unit actions by elite Rhodesian Security Forces have become common and most Black families live in perpetual fear of vanishing into the night without a trace. Not to be outdone, the Peoples Army of Zimbabwe fights for the liberation of the country and has begun a campaign of bombings across the country that indiscriminately target Black and White alike. They are led by a fiery former Pastor who turns to god for guidance and while many Blacks are unhappy with the White leadership they acknowledge that it is better to have the devil they know then one they do not. There is food on the table, the power stays on most days, and taxes are actually fairly distributed amongst both races. Life could be much worse.
