AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Former service and administrative flag of Rhodesia, a British colony in southern Africa. Rhodesia emerged from the territory colonized by Cecil Rhodes and the British South Africa Company. From 1923, the country was officially under British administration, after which the Blue Ensign with coat of arms was introduced in 1924.

Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) was under British rule until 1965, when Prime Minister Ian Smith issued a Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI). The country then became internationally isolated, and the symbols used gradually changed.
