History
The Federation of Rhodesia, also called the Union of Rhodesia, has a colonial history that begins in the late 19th century.

Religion
Currently, Rhodesia reports that 92% of its population is Christian (Anglican, Methodist, Presbyterian), with 4% reporting no religion, and the rest reporting native religions.

Population
Notes: the Black population of Rhodesia had a lower growth rate due to a number of factors, including migration out of the territory of Rhodesia, migration to European countries, diseases, use of contraceptives and reproductive services. The Asian population grew mostly due to immigration, and natural increase. The white population overtook the native population for the first time in 1975.

Immigration to Rhodesia
Rhodesia did not first attract immigrants from Europe in large numbers till after the two World Wars with the imperial land grant program, where Veterans would get between 50 and 100 acres if they lived there, plus ten years bonus pay up front, if they lived there at least 10 years. This program included other allied powers, namely the United States, Canada, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, and Free French. Asians include both Indian and Chinese from Hong Kong, Singapore, and other British Asian territories.
