No I don't want it to become another Rhodesia but there was a direct correlation
in that both independence declarations were deemed illegal (expect an announcement about Catalonia's).

The difference here is that Rhodesia was a commonwealth country rather than a state in a country and at the time we we still were classed as a world power and had a lot more clout with the UN back then.

Catalonia is playing a very dangerous game here which could potentially end up sparking a civil war in Spain with the possibility of the Basque region siding with Catalonia.

I'm fully expecting independence being declared tomorrow if not then definitely on Tuesday.
