Rhodesia, known initially as Zambesia, is a historical region in southern Africa whose formal boundaries evolved between the 1890s and 1980. Demarcated and named by the British South Africa Company (BSAC), which governed it until the 1920s, it thereafter saw administration by various authorities. It was bisected by a natural border, the Zambezi. The territory to the north of the Zambezi was officially designated Northern Rhodesia by the company, and has been Zambia since 1964; that to the south, which the company dubbed Southern Rhodesia, became Zimbabwe in 1980. Northern and Southern Rhodesia were sometimes informally called "the Rhodesias".

  • El nom de Rhodèsia (Rhodesia en anglès) fou utilitzat a partir de 1892 per la majoria dels primers colons per designar les possessions de la British South Africa Company (BSAC) a l'Àfrica austral en la regió de la conca del Limpopo-Zambèze, oficialitzat per la BSAC el maig de 1895 i pel Regne Unit el 1898[2]. El nom ret homenatge a Cecil Rhodes, home de negocis britànic, primer ministre de la colònia del Cap, fundador i administrador de la BSAC (el proposat nom de Cecília, en l'honor de la no va arrelar). Més particularment, els territoris fins aleshores dividits en Zambèsia del Nord i Zambèsia del Sud amunt i avall del riu Zambèze, foren batejats com Rhodèsia del Nord (actual Zàmbie) l'any 1911 i Rhodèsia del Sud (actual Zimbàbue) l'any 1901. De 1964 a 1979, després de la independència de Zàmbie, el nom simplement de Rhodèsia va servir per designar la Rhodèsia del Sud. En 1979, aquesta darrera va ser breument anomenada Zimbàbue-Rhodèsia abans de reprendre el seu nom colonial de Rhodèsia del Sud i a continuació el nom de Zimbàbue el 1980. El terme de Rhodèsia designa encara de vegades la regió del Sud-est de l'Àfrica que reagrupa els Estats de Zàmbia i de Zimbàbue, i eventualment de Malawi. (ca)

Plus particulièrement, les territoires jusque-là divisés en Zambézie du Nord et Zambézie du Sud en amont et en aval du fleuve Zambèze, sont baptisés Rhodésie du Nord (actuelle Zambie) en 1911 et Rhodésie du Sud (actuel Zimbabwe) en 1901. De 1964 à 1979, après l'indépendance de la Zambie, le nom de Rhodésie servit à désigner la Rhodésie du Sud, notamment après sa déclaration d'indépendance en 1965. En 1979, ce territoire fut brièvement appelé Zimbabwe-Rhodésie avant de reprendre son nom colonial de Rhodésie du Sud puis d'être rebaptisé Zimbabwe en 1980. Le terme de Rhodésie désigne encore parfois la région du Sud-Est de l'Afrique qui regroupe les États de Zambie et du Zimbabwe, ainsi que le Malawi. Diverses espèces animales actuelles ou fossiles découvertes ou décrites en Rhodésie ont reçu l'épithète spécifique rhodesiensis ou rhodesiense, notamment Homo rhodesiensis, une espèce humaine ayant vécu au Pléistocène moyen.

  • Rhodesia, known initially as Zambesia, is a historical region in southern Africa whose formal boundaries evolved between the 1890s and 1980.

Northern and Southern Rhodesia were sometimes informally called "the Rhodesias". The term "Rhodesia" was first used to refer to the region by White settlers in the 1890s who informally named their new home after Cecil Rhodes, the company's founder and managing director. It was used in newspapers from 1891 and was made official by the company in 1895. To confuse matters, Southern Rhodesia, which became a self-governing colony of the United Kingdom in 1923, referred to itself simply as "Rhodesia" from 1964 to 1979, and in 1965 unilaterally declared independence under that name. It thereafter briefly renamed itself "Zimbabwe Rhodesia" in 1979. The usage of the term Rhodesia to refer to the historical region fell from prominence after Northern Rhodesia became Zambia in 1964. From then until 1980, "Rhodesia" commonly referred to Southern Rhodesia alone. Since 1980 the term has not been in general use, aside from in a historical context. (en)

Em 1911, a Rodésia foi separada em dois protetorados, a Rodésia do Norte (atual Zâmbia) e a Rodésia do Sul (atual Zimbábue). Em 1953, as duas Rodésias e o Protetorado da Niassalândia (atual Malawi) formaram uma federação chamada Federação da Rodésia e Niassalândia, que durou até 1963, quando os três Estados voltaram a ser distintos entre si. Em 1965, a Rodésia do Sul , voltando a ser conhecida novamente pelo nome de Rodésia ou República da Rodésia. O governo da República da Rodésia era dominado pela minoria branca. Após uma longa guerra civil entre o governo branco e duas organizações guerrilheiras africanas (ZIPRA e ZANLA), em 1979 o Reino Unido reassumiu o controle por um pequeno espaço de tempo, estabelecendo a dominação da Zimbábue-Rodésia, que, finalmente, em 1980, passou a ser o Estado independente do Zimbábue.
