Life under the Empire in Rhodesia was terrible when the British was
in control. There was segregation the black and the white settlers. The
blacks got displaced into infertile land and the settlers took the fertile
land they then gained themselves mining rights so they could look for
gold. The settlers also created segregation rules such as no blacks are
allowed in pubs and blacks arent allowed in certain parts of
Rhodesia. It was very cruel and wrong and the blacks fought for their
rights but most of the time they were ignored only in a certain time
were their opinions put to ear.
His was after the British government had made majority rule a
condition for the independence of Rhodesia from Britain. Smith
followed the UDI by declaring Rhodesia a Republic, which however,
did not have international recognition. From June 1979, the Republic
of Southern Rhodesia was replaced by Zimbabwe-Rhodesia after Abel
Tendekayi Muzorewa won the first majority elections.
