 | | This policy was opposed by the white minority Rhodesian Front (RF) government, led by Ian Smith. |
 | | The Rhodesian government faced a serious economic struggle during the 1970s as a result of sanctions, emigration, and the strain imposed on the economic system by conscription of all white men (and, in the late 1970s, Asian and Coloured (mixed race) men as well). |
