Zambia-Rozengria, commonly referred to at the time as Rozembia, was a short-lived sovereign state aimed to introduce black majority rule to Rozengria, though it lacked international recognition.
Under pressure from within the nation, an "Internal Settlement" was drawn up between the Beyers administration of Rozengria and moderate African nationalist parties. Meanwhile, the government continued to battle armed resistance from the Patriotic Front. The liberation war was a proxy conflict between the West and East.
