WHAT DOES NORTHERN RHODESIA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Northern Rhodesia

Northern Rhodesia was a protectorate in south central Africa, formed in 1911 by the amalgamating the two earlier protectorates of North-Western Rhodesia and North-Eastern Rhodesia. It was initially administered, as were the two earlier protectorates, by the British South Africa Company,, a chartered company on behalf of the British government. Although under the BSAC charter, it had features of a charter colony the BSAC's treaties with local rulers and British legislation gave it the status of a protectorate. From 1924 it was administered by the British government as a protectorate under similar conditions to other British-administered protectorates, and the special provisions required when it was administered by BSAC were terminated. The territory attracted a relatively small number of European settlers, but from the time these first secured political representation, they agitated for white minority rule, either as a separate entity or associated with Southern Rhodesia and possibly Nyasaland.
