3 feb 1960 anni - MacMillan Makes "Winds of Change" Speech

Descrizione:

While in South Africa, Harold MacMillan delivers his "Winds of Change" speech, which, although not especially covered at the time, basically said the British government will not take any extreme measures to prevent colonial independence. This essentially guarantees the independence of the African states if they so choose to opt for it, as well as signaling the rather flailing state of the British Empire and European Empire broadly.
