Southern Rhodesia was the name given to a British colony north of Union of South Africa.   After its independence in 1965, it was known as Rhodesia until 1979, when it reconstituted itself under majority rule as the unrecognized state of Zimbabwe Rhodesia.   It reverted to colonial status in December 1979, and was recognized internationally as the State of Zimbabwe in April 1980.
