Barotziland–North-Western Rhodesia

Barotziland–North-Western Rhodesia was a British protectorate in Southern Africa constituted in 1899 — the Upper Zambezi territory shown on the map. It comprised the Lozi Kingdom, also known as Barotziland or Barotseland, with North-Western Rhodesia to its east; both contemporary and later sources often used 'North-Western Rhodesia' more broadly as a shorthand for the whole. The protectorate was administered by a British Administrator — the last of whom was Lawrence Aubrey Wallace — governing the Lozi king Lewanika's realm and the lands beyond it under the Chartered Company's charter; both contemporary and later sources often used 'North-Western Rhodesia' as a shorthand for the whole. The capital was initially at Kalomo, and moved in 1907 to Livingstone, near the Victoria Falls. In 1911 the protectorate was amalgamated with North-Eastern Rhodesia to form Northern Rhodesia, whose Administrator took over the functions that had been carried out by the Barotziland office — closing the separate record of the North-Western territory, which would become the heartland of independent Zambia.
