| Northern Rhodesia | |
| In the late 19th century the British South Africa Company began making treaties with the local chiefs in what was then known as Northern Rhodesia. Following the 1924 British administrative takeover of the region and the discovery of copper during the late 1920s, many Europeans immigrated to the area. |

The British colony of Northern Rhodesia, presently known as Zambia, became independend in 1964. |
