It was a British colony under its previous name of Southern Rhodesia. Zimbabwe came into being on April 18th, 1980.
The first action towards the colonization of Zimbabwe was the Rudd Concession, which was pushed through by Cecil Rhodes in 1888. Once the British were mining in Zimbabwe, the order to take control was passed, which allowed British Officers to invade and take over.
Zimbabwe was colonized by the British in order to expand the British territories. The British colonies were designed to bring riches to the crown.

Both Kenya & Zimbabwe (Formerly Southern Rhodesia) were part of the British Empire. Both Egypt & Sudan were British protectorates within the British Empire. Keyna is a member of the Commonwealth, but I think Zimbabwe is probably now suspended in these troubled times.

Before colonization, Zimbabwe was known as the Kingdom of Zimbabwe, often associated with the Great Zimbabwe civilization, which thrived from the 11th to 15th centuries. After colonization by the British in the late 19th century, it was renamed Southern Rhodesia. The name changed again to Zimbabwe in 1980 when the country gained independence from British colonial rule.
