The Central African Federation was formed in 1953 primarily to promote economic development and political stability among the three territories of Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia), Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), and Nyasaland (now Malawi). The British colonial administration aimed to create a more efficient governance structure and to exploit the region's natural resources. However, the federation faced significant political opposition and dissatisfaction among the local populations, leading to its dissolution in 1963. The federation ultimately highlighted the complexities of colonial governance and the rising demand for independence among African nations.
