[[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 or 'UDI'. 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'. The British governments reaction was hostile with [[Labour Party]] prime minister Harold Wilson declaring the move 'illegal' and 'brutal', this eventually led to a arms embargo on the country by the United Kingdom and by American president [[Lyndon Johnson]]
