End of Apartheid?
Apartheid, the Afrikaans name given by the white-ruled South Africa’s Nationalist Party in 1948 to the country’s harsh, institutionalized system of racial segregation, came to an end in the early 1990s in a series of steps that led to the formation of a democratic government in 1994.
Years of violent internal protest, weakening white commitment, international economic and cultural sanctions, economic struggles, and the end of the Cold War brought down white minority rule in Pretoria.
U.S. policy toward the regime underwent a gradual but complete transformation that played an important conflicting role in Apartheid’s initial survival and eventual downfall.
Although many of the segregationist policies dated back to the early decades of the twentieth century - It was the election of the Nationalist Party in 1948 that marked the beginning of legalized racism’s harshest features called Apartheid.
The Cold War then was in its early stages.
What did the U.S. do? Good question.
They helped . .
Let's look close at what is happening in these days . .
Is there a problem with people doing the same thing (maybe more) based on religion? Islam DOES NOT insist on people becoming Muslims, even when ruling over people. They can have their own religion, or even no religion at all.
