Zimbabwe's Liberation

Zimbabwe’s Liberation

            Shortly after Rhodesia was liberated, the Central African Federation formed. The CAF was made up of three nations, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Malawi. The CAF was not completely liberated in the fact that it kept many of the ideals forced upon the people by the Europeans. The CAF struggled and to stay afloat until Zimbabwe decided to leave, seeking a better life of independence. After Zimbabwe’s decision to leave the CAF disbanded.

            Zimbabwe has not been very successful as an independent nation, due to many dependencies with its culture. Before its colonization Zimbabwe was split into two tribes who were not very technologically advanced. However, after European influence Zimbabwe became an industrial Nation. The problem was, the Europeans decided to leave Zimbabwe before it was a stable, self maintaining nation. This caused Zimbabwe to go into an economical tailspin. Ever since their independence Zimbabwe has been in an economic crisis. Even today, Zimbabwe is in a state of hyper inflation. The current estimate as of 5/4/2012 is 1 ZWD (Zimbabwean Dollar) = 0.00376319 USD (US Dollar).
