What is Belgium larger than? Which is its strength? Or the Dutch? Yet the Dutch nationalism receives the same opprobrium as the British.

After independence, all the nearby African nationalist states allied against SA and Rhodesia. This was a particular problem for Rhodesia, since their nearest ports are in Mozambique.

Yes, good point. It’s not every African nationalism that’s acceptable.

Rhodesia wasn’t “African” nationalism but “white African” nationalism. A small difference if you were looking.
