The Eighties Begin (1980)
Today's "Golden Oldie" is from the start of the Eighties. I chose it because we are again at the start of a decade. Thirty years later.
The references to Iran and Afghanistan are interesting but I was stumped by the reference to "peace coming to a war-torn African state by setting up British colonial rule". So I had to do some research.
Four months later in April of 1980, the British colony of Southern Rhodesia became the independent Republic of Zimbabwe.
