Apartheid was a horrific system of racial segregation that happened in South Africa from 1948 to 1991 (although it is debated if it actually ended in 1994).
Foreign Policy
Apartheid South Africa acted as a client state of the US Empire throughout it's entire existence, acting as a base to carry out coups, invasions, assassinations and terrorist attacks against anti-american states. Such actions include:
- 1950: The sending of 824 soldiers to fight with the US in the Korean War.[1]
- 1961: Allegedly involved in the crashing of the plane that killed UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjöld, with aid from the CIA and MI6.[2]
- 1964: The sending of 2,000 - 5,000 troops to assist in the Rhodesian Bush War.[3]
- 1986: Allegedly involved in the assassination of Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme, possibly with the CIA.
