== Independence ==
[[Great Britain]] refused to grant Rhodesia independence until majority-rule was implemented, something rejected by the white minority in the colony. On November 11 1965, Rhodesian politician [[Ian Smith]] declared Rhodesia an independent nation through a unilateral declaration of independence using the U.S. [[Declaration of Independence]] as an example. Initially the newly formed Rhodesian government sought to maintain relations with the British and viewed Queen Elizabeth II as their head of state, but she refused the title 'Queen of Rhodesia'.
