RE: The South African Border War - Meanwhile over in neighboring Mozambique.

in #war7 years ago

It is weird to think that this bloody gruesome oppressive war happened not that long ago and in many of the lifetimes of numerous people. I didn't realise Mozambique gained its independence only in 1975 while tyrannical rule continued elsewhere in Africa.

Mozambique seems like it is placed in a very strategic place with it sharing borders with many countries and acted as a great way to get to the front line safely.

Now the autocratic Portugese are gone. Africa is left to deal with the communists throughout the land.

all of Africa's borders were defined in the 20th century

False. They were defined during the 19th century
