Grand Apartheid

Grand apartheid is the second stage of apartheid in South Africa beginning in the late 1950's, initiated by HF Verwoerd. The Grand Apartheid aimed for a complete territorial segregation and for the different races to become completely independent from each other, which would lead to the separate development of the different groups of people with their own national jurisdiction. The Grand Apartheid was thought to be a more ideologically sophisticated apartheid compared to the more straightforward racially discriminating Petty Apartheid.

The reason we can see a shift in the Apartheid system in South Africa in the late 1950's is because of a more hostile global community. The rest of the world is starting to look down upon segregation and are moving forward, away from race classifications and segregation.
