Did Bokassa's imperial title achieve international recognition?
Yes
No, it did not
Partial recognition
Recognized by some African countries
Answer
Bokassa's imperial title was not recognized internationally because it was not legitimate. Bokassa seized power in a coup d'état and established a dictatorship, so he did not have the popular support necessary to justify the title of emperor. Additionally, his rule was marked by human rights abuses and corruption, which further eroded his legitimacy.
