Rhodesia is divided into two countries. Northern Rhodesia became independent on October 24, 1964. The name was changed to Zambia.
Southern Rhodesia was more complicated. It gained independence in 1965 and was led by a white segregationist group led by Ian Douglas Smith. This government was not recognized by the UK or other nations. China and Cuba sent military to help the blacks overthrow the whites. The UK took the country back to help bring order in 1979. Robert Mugabe won the election and became the prime minister.

Does Zimbabwe belong to another country or has it gained independence?
Zimbabwe was once the British colony of Southern Rhodesia. In 1964 the white-controlled government issued a unilateral declaration of independence and called its country simply Rhodesia. Following the resulting civil war, a settlement with the Black forces in 1979 produced an independent government with both white and black participation, and a country called Zimbabwe Rhodesia. In 1980 a transition to full majority rule and ceremonial independence from the UK was accompanied by a name change to Zimbabwe. So Zimbabwe has been fully independent since 1980, at the least.
