20世纪80年代津巴布韦的黑人游击队在整个1970年代与白人控制的罗得西亚政府进行了长期战争。二十年前，即 1950 年代末和 1960 年代初，早在导致白人统治结束的叛乱开始之前，当时属于中非联邦一部分的罗得西亚白人定居者就曾在比属刚果反抗黑人统治。这场战斗的焦点是刚果的加丹加省，该省北部与联邦接壤。刚果的斗争构成了罗得西亚白人反抗黑人多数统治的故事的一部分，这种反抗一直持续到1980年（南非也持续到1994年）。甚至在比利时决定于 1960 年撤出刚果之前，联邦的白人就在寻求与加丹加的比利时定居者建立政治联盟。比利时于 1960 年夏天退出后，联邦就竭尽全力帮助维持白人对刚果的控制。本文探讨了 1960 年前联邦与加丹加之间提议的政治联盟的两个相关问题，以及从 1960 到 1965（刚果危机这一阶段结束时）联邦对加丹加和刚果白人定居者利益的支持。它表明，坚定的白人抵抗开始得更早，撒网的范围比以前想象的更广，从而加深了我们对第二次世界大战后中非和南部非洲白人统治衰落的理解。
B of Zimbabwe in , black guerrilla forces fought a long war throughout the s against the whitecontrolled government of Rhodesia. Twenty years earlier, in the late s and early s, long before the start of the insurgency that led to the end of white rule, the white settlers of Rhodesia, then part of the Central African Federation, had fought against black rule in the Belgian Congo. The focus of this fight was the Congo’s province of Katanga, which bordered on the Federation to the north. The struggle in the Congo forms part of the story of white Rhodesian resistance to black majority rule that lasted until (and until in South Africa). Even before Belgium decided to pull out of the Congo in , the Federation’s whites were looking to effect a political union with the Belgian settlers in Katanga; and once Belgium withdrew in the summer of , the Federation did all it could to help to preserve white control over the Congo. This article examines the two related issues of the proposed political union between the Federation and Katanga before , and the Federation’s support for white settler interests in Katanga and the Congo from to , when this phase of the Congo crisis ended. It shows that determined white resistance began earlier and cast its net more widely than once thought, thus adding to our understanding of the decay of white rule in central and southern Africa after the Second World War.
