Zambia, officially the Republic of Zambia, is a landlocked country at the crossroads of Central, Southern and East Africa. The territory of Zambia was known as Northern Rhodesia from 1911 to 1964. It was renamed Zambia in October 1964 on its independence from British rule. The name Zambia derives from the Zambezi River (Zambezi means "the grand river").
About
Zambia's history includes precolonial kingdoms such as the Bemba, Lozi, and Chewa, and links to the Luba-Lunda empires. In the late 1800s, British control began through the British South Africa Company, and in 1911, the area became the colony of Northern Rhodesia. The economy focused on copper mining, which relied on migrant labor and created deep inequalities. After growing nationalist movements, led by Kenneth Kaunda, Zambia gained independence in 1964. Kaunda led a one-party state until 1991, when the country shifted to multi-party democracy. Since then, Zambia has faced economic and political challenges but has remained relatively peaceful.
