Abstract: | Conclusion The proceeding empirical data and analysis lend support to the central thesis of this work. Contrary to traditional scholarly
opinion, South African mineral production, especially of chromite and platinum group metals, was indispensable to the American
economy and military industrial complex. Economic dependency thus provides the key to understanding Washington’s pro-apartheid
policy during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. |
