中非“白人国家”及其崩溃之原因

Central African 'White Men's Country' and Reasons for Its Fall

在新航路开始后的大迁徙中,英国一直是移民输出国。在17世纪起的两个世纪里,英国移民的足迹遍及美、澳、亚、非渚洲,并创建了一批以移民为主体的移民型殖民地。这些殖民地将英国及欧洲文化全盘移植过来,经过一段时间的演化,或成为独立国家,或变成英帝国内拥有充分自治权的自治领。这样,在世界的版图上便出现了一批新的白人国家。 英国在19世纪末瓜分非洲的争夺中夺取大片土地。

Southern Rhodesia was a British colony which the British government and immigrants tried hard to build in to a'white men's country'in Central Africa since late 1880s. It was of unique characters within the British Empire and the Commonwealth of Nations: it was a self-governing colony in its political status; it showed a distinct duality in its cultural, social and demographic structures; its residents never evolved in to a new nation and this 'white men's country' never gained international recognition. Its fall in 1980 was caused by its physical conditions, internal revolts, external pressures and above all, its racial discriminative policies.
