Detailed explanation-1: -To confuse matters, Southern Rhodesia, which became a self-governing colony of the United Kingdom in 1923, referred to itself simply as “Rhodesia” from 1964 to 1979, and in 1965 unilaterally declared independence under that name. It thereafter briefly renamed itself “Zimbabwe Rhodesia” in 1979.
Detailed explanation-2: -Southern Rhodesia was renamed Rhodesia and remained a de jure British colony until 1980. However, the Rhodesian government issued a Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI) in 1965 and established a fully independent Rhodesia, which immediately became an unrecognised state.
Detailed explanation-3: -Northern Rhodesia was a British protectorate in south central Africa, now the independent country of Zambia.
Detailed explanation-4: -Finally, in December 1963, the federation was dissolved, and the Republic of Zambia was formed out of Northern Rhodesia on October 24, 1964.
