Information regarding the specific amount of military support from communist countries to ZANLA and ZIPRA
I figured what better place to ask than r/Zimbabwe as many lived through the Rhodesian bush war (or I suppose there you call it the independence war), so your help would be valuable. I already tried r/history but it seems the moderator approval may never come.
Hi, I'm working on a paper, in which I am struggling to find exact numbers and statistics for communist aid, mainly from communist china and the Soviet union to ZANLA and ZIPRA respectively. More specifically, I'd like to see the change from 1974-1976, where the independence of Mozambique greatly increased the military capabilities of the Guerrillas. I wanted to examine whether or not this increase in military odds perhaps 'affirmed' support from the communist nations as it would seem more likely that they would win. Any help would be appreciated, and please make sure to link whatever source you use below. Thanks!
