What is the origin of Zimbabwe?

Answer 1

Zimbabwe was born out of Rhodesia in 1980 the year of independence after a protracted war of liberation that lasted many years. Zimbabwe was colonised by Britain when British settlers arrived and enslaved local indeginous black people in the 1800s. The indigenous people waged what became known as Chimurenga 1 and Chimurenga 2 wars against the settlers which led to independence on the 18th of April 1980.

Zimbabwe has had political independence for some 30 years. The government of Robert Mugabe in 2000 waged what it called Chimurenga 3 which was to get land back from descendents of the white settlers as a form of economic independence. This led to a disastorous economic ruin which saw saw inflation of the local currency reaching billions of percent.
