L'11 novembre 1965 il governo di minoranza bianco della colonia britannica della Rhodesia del Sud (Africa australe, attuale Zimbabwe), con premier Ian Smith, dichiarava unilateralmente l'indipendenza con l'UDI - Unilateral Declaration of Indipendence. La Rhodesia della White Supremacy era la seconda economia dell'Africa nera dopo il Sudafrica, e il più importante mercato dei capitali d'Africa dopo la Johannesburg Stock Exchange. Nel 1980, 15 anni dopo l'UDI e in seguito ad una sanguinosa guerr, la Rhodesia nemmeno nominalmente esisteva più: si costituiva al suo posto lo Zimbabwe africano di Robert Mugabe. Autori: Stefano Andreani.
