francoist spain, rhodesia, south africa, and israel on the same side? hard pass. nigeria.
really gotta question whatever the hell china was doing here. also really disappointed in czechoslovakia, legitimately wasn't aware of that part of my country's history.
edit: reading more on this shit. jesus christ this is all so fucked up. the only way to win this game is to not play it. maybe provide a way to smuggle refugees out of there, what a hellscape.
like this is such a clusterfuck. like i can see an argument for biafran independence, but i also see an argument for african unity against imperialism. i also see an argument against biafra because it was a liberal revolution from what I see, but its also a place where nigerian and biafra troops committed war crimes.
really, this is mostly just a sad fate that european powers condemned africa to. there is no good side because the bad side (the europeans) already won decisively and were just using this as a chess match.
This tbh in this scenario, the only way to win is to not play
The only way to win is to pretend to be one of the Rhodesian troops and then dropping a few frags in their bunks when they're sleeping.
Syria's not on either side so you're safe from the curse either way.
Last time this was posted on the reddit sub, I looked into it and I'd have to say Biafra, but it was all very messy.
I would have just sided against Israel but they had to make shit all complicated.
Nigeria. My mom was a child when the Biafran war was going on. From what she told me, the U.S. reached out to the Brits to see if they could help and the Brits said no and just let the tribes fight it out. I'm sure there was some economic motive there. My mom saw dead bodies and one of my uncles even got separated from the family, then reunited later. They really thought he either got kidnapped or killed, or probably got forced to fight. It was way before my time, so I'm just going by my mom's experience. Doesn't seem like there was much supporting going . If I'm forced to choose sides, it's still fuck Biafra.
I did a little reading on it, and it seems that the socialist perspective is that the British assisted the Nigerians in blockading Biafra after an anti-Igbo progrom was carried out by the north? Britain's main concern was oil exports for BP.
As for Biafra, it seems like a handful of military generals and rich elites decided to start the whole thing after using ethnic and religious conflict as a casus belli to secede.
Huge clusterfuck. If you have any better info hit me up
From what little I actually know about this conflict, Biafra. You can't really measure the "goodness" of this war by the powers that supported each cause- Nixon seriously considered changing US support to Biafra.
The ethnic groups that tried to form Biafra have been kind of fucked over by the Nigerian government since this conflict.
Some of these Cold War proxy conflicts are wild in terms of the support they get.
