apartheid

Like it says on the tin. The Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, also known as the Central African Federation, existed from 1953 to 1963, and was fiercely criticized by African nationalist leaders within its territory, who saw its creation as a way to extend the life of British colonialism in...

Which countries other than Apartheid South Africa could have implemented an analogue to the Bantustan system? they do not need to work identically as they did in South Africa, but can be similar, as in, a country hates certain ethnic groups to the extent that we do not want to even assimilate...

Following some of my earlier threads regarding the effects of sanctions never being imposed on South Africa I thought it would be interesting to look at the same question regarding Rhodesia. https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/south-african-defence-force-without-sanctions.531919/...

Context: The Truth and Reconciliation Commission was designed to ease the transition from Apartheid by taming the desire of retribution from the blacks and dispelling fears kangaroo courts from white officials. During the Apartheid era, many things were done both in for, and against it, that...

In this ATL, Apartheid South Africa manages to continue existing up until the early 2000s. As hinted by the title, at the very least, existing in the year of 2002. As for the POD to get to this point: assume a mixture of brute force and better disruption of ANC activities mean the country avoids...

in 1945, Djibouti had less then 70K people it is very feasible that France could have deported this tiny population to neighbouring Ethiopia and Somalia this population could have then been replaced with French settlers forming a majority white place in Africa how would it develop? would it...

this is the ethnic map of South Africa in a scenario I've been working on where Churchill wins the 1945 election. south west africa is excluded key: orange = black gun grey = asian blue = coloured Biege = white the year is 1959 how horrifying is this map?

During the Apartheid era South Africa was subjected to various economic and military sanctions and embargos by the international community. These sanctions were one of the most significant factors that led to the end of Apartheid as the South African economy became unstable and began the slide...

This thread is both an OTL question and also a potential WI scenario, I am confused about what the title of the thread should be so I will make it clear that I am first and foremost wanting to know the reasons as to why OTL Apartheid South Africa did not create a Bantustan for the Cape...

Let's say that, through a series of PODs starting in the 1950s, such as the Progressive Party not forming and South Africa remaining a monarchy in the 1960 referendum (the margin was quite narrow, after all), the United Party, led by De Villiers Graaff, returns to power in the 1961 election...

What if at any time during 1980 - 1990 South Africa embarks on giving full independence to all 20 Bantustans within its territory and to recognize each one as an independent nation with its own Prime Minister, Parliament and so on regardless of how the international community reacts. Let's say...

After their narrow victory in the 1948 election, the National Party of South Africa retained a majority (and later a supermajority) of seats in parliament until the end of apartheid in 1994. Was there any plausible chance for the United Party to return to power through an election, especially if...

Garfield Todd was prime minister of Rhodesia from 1953 to 1958. During his tenure, he introduced reforms to improve the lives of the black majority by investing in public education and allowing multiracial trade unions to form. However, he was forced to resign after his cabined resigned en masse...

Apparently this was given extreme serious thought but was dropped so as to not hurt the status quo. The Blacks, and Anglo population of SA was extremely in favor of the monarchy otl, which Mandela back in 1961 even calling the republic an unwanted one. So what if in 1994 when South Africa...

I know about how the African natives were treated in Apartied South Africa, But how were other races treated by the government and society?

The ruling Nasionale Party was seeing that the segregation policies of apartheid are earning the regime a bad name abroad. The riots and violence continue to appear and the party leadership has to admit that the system itself is unsustainable. On paper, the Black population of the country are...

Right now, South Africa has a pretty good economy for Africa. Its characterized by a fairly high GDP per capita (about $13k) which is good for a country with a population of its size in Africa (compared to other countries like Kenya, Nigeria etc.). It also has the second largest economy in...

What was the purpose of Apartheid if it only segregated people based on race and exacerbated tensions that nearly went into civil war? Can anyone explain?

With no PoDs prior to 1900, is it possible for South Africa (or area comprising it, or equivalent) to have a population where non black Africans - whites, coloreds, and Asians combined - comprise over half the population? If so, than depending on the PoD that works, what would the effects be?
