I warmly welcome you to the World of Rhodesia!
Before we start, do you know anything about Rhodesia?
Its location? Type of government? No? Nothing?
Have you ever BEEN to Rhodesia?
Wait! I know what you are going to say. Everyone's answer should be NO.
Do you know why?
Simple, Rhodesia does not exist anymore!
Now, don't imagine something like the Lost City of Atlantis or Anasazi. Rhodesia does not exist because it is now referred as
Zimbabwe.

Ah, now that rings the bell doesn't it?
In the current day of South Africa , Zimbabwe stands firm and proud with a crazy history concerned with the British,
In the current day of South Africa , Zimbabwe stands firm and proud with a crazy history concerned with the British,
and in this wiki you will receive tons of information about how it was formed and colonized!
For the general overview, Rhodesia was named after its founder. Cecil John Rhodes. He was the leader of the BSA, British South Africa company with a charter signed by Queen Victoria to seize administration of the land.
Of course, there were some conflicts, and even wars.
The Native African Tribe called the Matabele stood strong and firm, and because of that they were viewed as a threat to the Great Britain.
And furthermore, after Rhodes's trick with the Rudd Concession, the Great Britain and Lobengula were in "wait and see" relationship.
Everyone should have heard of the wars the two had. There were two major wars, first being the First Matabele War, and the second Second Matabele War.
Sadly, you will not find much about the Second Matabele War, because this was also an alternate name for rebellion. And this wiki only will be based on the colonization.
So..~
Ready to walk back in time when Zimbabwe was once called Rhodesia?
Please, make yourself comfortable, relax, and have some coffee. You'll need it.
