Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Southern Rhodesia was the name of the British colony situated north of the Limpopo River and the Union of South Africa. Since its independence and the institution of a majority African government, the area has been re-named Zimbabwe. The territory was originally referred to as ''South Zambezia'' but the name ''Rhodesia'' came into use in 1895. The designation ''Southern'' was adopted in 1901 and dropped from normal usage in 1964 on the break-up of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, and Rhodesia became the name of the country until the creation of Zimbabwe Rhodesia in 1979. Legally, from the British perspective, the name Southern Rhodesia continued to be used until April 18, 1980, when the name Republic of Zimbabwe was formally proclaimed.
