I suppose if he converted to Islam earlier he turns away from politics and instead becomes a Muslims intellectual who writes a book called "My Jihad", where he uses the tennents of Islam to promote racial harmony, religious tolerance and denounce the colonialism of Britian and France.

If Germany can hold onto it's colonies until the 60's then you could have a German speaking Cameroon, Tanganyika and Togo.

Your assumption that a country can do better so long as it has "good leadership" is false, the relative failures and success's of Botswana and Ghana are mostly structural. Botswana's "success" is inflated and mostly untrue. It's a country with a small population yet comparatively rich in...

Honestly, he doesn't seem that much worse than the current narcissistic imbecile, now that's a scary thought

Rugby was adopted by Standford and Berkeley from 1906 until the first world war. Football in the early 20th century was quite boorish in comparison to Rugby at the time which was seen as more attractive and free flowing game than football, which still mostly consisted of large men piling into...

A lot of awful misconceptions here 1) While Slavery did exist pre Atlantic slave trade, or existed on a much smaller scale. If you were wealthy or involved in trade you may have purchased a few slaves from abroad, also a type of debt slavery did exist in most societies as well, however slavery...

Hmm, the CSA would probably be heavily influenced by whatever sports are popular in the US, so I would imagine that there might be a similar situation to what in Canada being influenced by American sports. On the other hand I don't see proffesional sports leagues developing in a poorer country...

No, South Korea made it to the semi finials of the world cup in 2002 and was one of the best teams in Asia at the time. They had a realistic shot of winning, they only lost 1-0 to Germany in the semi final, I don't understand how people see this as unlikely. Its not less realistic than Leicester...

Southern Rhodesia is as British as Natal, it would never form a Union with the Boer Republics. Nor would the Boer Republic want a large English population which would be more loyal to Britain than the Republics

They did and many of the educated elite really wanted to feel kinship with the British. Problem was that no matter how educated you were the British still saw the educated middle class as being racially inferior to whites and being unable to govern themselves. This realazation dissapointed the...

This is vaguuly racist and stupid, essentially what you saying is genocide is okay. Not only that you portray modern African societies as being primitive while displaying a complete ignorance of the politics of Rwanda, Burundi and the Congo. Can you even name the "tribes" who are enslaving and...

That is what white supremacy is, kill the Natives, steal their land for whites. Use enslaved underclass of blacks to support your economy. Then exclude all non whites from policitcal and economic institutions. Colonialism is white supremacy, America is a state built on white supremacy. Your...

A big reason for African states choosing to become Republics was that the Commonwealth didn't really have much to offer, if remaining a Commonwelath realm had some kind of economic benefit then you might see some states like Gambia ans Sierra Leone remain Realms of the Commonwealth. It's more...

The Cape Afrikaner's were never moderate. The only thing that made them moderate was that they accepted British rule but otherwise they shared the same beliefs, language and religion as the Boers in the Free State and the ZAR. In other words they were just as racist as everyone else, most were...

Just have the White Australia policy continue and have the government continue to kidnap aboriginal children to try and "breed them out".

Dude you are way out of your depth commenting on a situation you don't understand. Maruis is South African so I don't understand how you can call him smug when he actually knows what he is talking about.

You would have fewer states forming along the coast but convesrly you may see the states that do rise have more diversified economies. In the early years of European and African trade Africans exported things like cloth and other manufactured goods, however with European demand for slaves there...

A large percentage of black voters did vote for the National party, as much as I despise the, the Nat's ran on a very different platform in 1994 from what they represented during apartheid, they tried to portray themselves as the only viable opposition that would prevent an a total ANC land...

There wasn't a civil war in SA? That's news to me, the political violence in KZN between the ANC, the IFP and the government was already pretty close to it and thousands of people were killed in the violence. You would have to have the already racist Nats be replaced by a party even more...

Having some industry doesn't mean that you are an Industrial economy, the Southern economy will be dominated by agriculture for decades, which means that their economy is volatile to even the slightest change in the market. You will have cycles of boom but these will be followed by very...
