FROM SOUTHERN RHODESIA TO ZIMBABWE:
Rhodesia's Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI) was a statement adopted by the cabinet of Rhodesia on 11 November 1965, announcing that Southern Rhodesia who was a British territory in southern Africa that had governed itself since 1923. It was the first unilateral break from the United Kingdom since the United States Declaration of Independence in 1776.  The Rhodesian Bush War a guerrilla conflict between the government and two rival communist-backed black Rhodesian groups, began in earnest two years later. Amid near-complete international isolation, Rhodesia continued as an unrecognised state with the assistance of South Africa. After several attempts to end the war Smith concluded the Internal Settlement with non-militant nationalists in 1978. Under these terms the country was reconstituted under black rule as Zimbabwe Rhodesia in June 1979, but this new order was rejected by the guerrillas. It was only after Rhodesia revoked its Unilateral Declaration of Independance that peace followed after the Lancaster House Agreement in December 1979. Following a brief period of direct British rule, the country was granted internationally recognised independence under the name Zimbabwe in 1980.
