Southern Rhodesia was a self governing land-locked British colony in what is today the country of Zimbabwe. The colony's territory was initially conquered and administered by the British South Africa Company (BSAC), which was founded for the purpose of occupying and settling the region by Cecil Rhodes in 1888. Following years of growing white immigration into the region, the settler minority voted to reject entering into a union with South Africa in favour of establishing a settler-run legislative assembly under the framework of responsible government.
