Rhodesia's Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI) was a statement adopted by the Cabinet of Rhodesia on 11 November 1965, announcing that Southern Rhodesia, a British territory in southern Africa that had governed itself since 1923, now regarded itself as an independent sovereign state. Despite the UDI, Rhodesia remained a British colony until it became Zimbabwe in 1980.
