Answer

The Lancaster House Agreement, orchestrated by Peter Carrington, successfully resolved the protracted Rhodesian racial conflict, which had been marked by escalating tensions between the white minority government and the majority Black population demanding equal rights and political representation. This landmark agreement paved the way for peaceful transition towards a democratic and multi-racial Zimbabwe, setting the stage for its eventual independence in 1980.
