*The '''Kingdom of Mapungubwe''' was the first in a series of trading states which had developed in Zimbabwe by the time the '''first European explorers arrived from Portugal'''. These states traded gold, ivory, and copper for cloth and glass. | |||
*From about 1300 until 1600 the '''Kingdom of Zimbabwe''' eclipsed Mapungubwe. | |||
*From c. 1450 to 1760 Zimbabwe gave way to the '''Kingdom of Mutapa'''. This Shona state ruled '''much of the area of present-day Zimbabwe, plus parts of central Mozambique'''. | |||
*It was renowned for its '''strategic trade routes with the Arabs and Portugal'''. The Portuguese sought to monopolize this influence and began a series of wars which left the empire in near collapse in the early 17th century. | |||
*As a direct response to increased European presence in the interior a new Shona state emerged, known as the Rozwi Empire which '''expelled the Portuguese from the Zimbabwean plateau.''' | |||
*By 1838, the Ndebele clan had conquered the Rozwi Empire, along with the other smaller Shona states, and reduced them to vassaldom. | |||
*In the 1880s, '''European colonists arrived with Cecil Rhodes's British South Africa Company''' . In 1888. Rhodes obtained a concession for mining rights from King Lobengula of the Ndebele peoples. | |||
*Rhodes used this document in 1890 to use military action to justify establishing company rule over the area. | |||
*In 1895, the BSAC adopted the name "Rhodesia" for the territory. In 1898, '''"Southern Rhodesia" became the official name for the region south of the Zambezi, which later adopted the name "Zimbabwe".''' | |||
