Rhodesia was a British colony until the Unilateral Declaration of Independence in 1964. The country again reverted to colonial status as part of a ceasefire agreement from 1979 until Robert Mugabe was brought into power in the 1980 elections, at which point, it transitioned into the Republic of Zimbabwe.
