	Zimbabwe Rhodesia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Zimbabwe Rhodesia was the (largely unrecognised) name of Zimbabwe during 1979, adopted by Rhodesia soon after an Internal Settlement between the white minority Rhodesian Government led by Ian Smith and small, moderate African nationalist parties not involved in the war that had been raging in the country since 1977.
		The name Zimbabwe Rhodesia was rejected by most Zimbabweans (mainly black people) who did not like their country to have a foreign "surname" associated with Cecil Rhodes whom they considered more as an enemy than as a hero.
		During Zimbabwe's first non-racial multi-party independence elections in 1980, one of Robert Mugabe and Joshua Nkomo's campaign strategy against Abel Muzorewa and the other small parties who participated in the Internal Settlement was to turn the nation's anger against them for having negotiated to give the country a shameful surname.
