Before its independence in 1964, Zambia was controlled by British colonial rule, specifically as part of the British South Africa Company’s territory. The region was known as Northern Rhodesia, and it was administered by British officials with significant economic interests in mining and agriculture. The push for independence was led by nationalist movements, most notably the United National Independence Party (UNIP) under Kenneth Kaunda. Zambia finally gained independence on October 24, 1964.
