'RHODESIA' ancient name of which country?

Answer 1

It is Zimbabwe, and the name "Rhodesia" is not as ancient as all that.
Zimbabwe was previously named "Rhodesia" after the British colonist Cecil Rhodes, but became the "Republic of Zimbabwe" in 1980 when the country was internationally recognized as independant. The word "Zimbabwe" means "house of the chief".

Answer 2

Rhodesia was the name of the British colony of Southern Rhodesia after 1965. Landlocked and located in southern Africa, it was governed by white minority rule until 1979. The colony was named after Cecil Rhodes, whose British South Africa Company acquired the land in the nineteenth century. The colony gained internationally-recognised independence from Britain in 1980 and became the Republic of Zimbabwe. At an earlier period, the name "Rhodesia" was used to refer to a larger region that corresponds to both Zimbabwe (Southern Rhodesia) and Zambia (Northern Rhodesia).
