@factzenith_history: WHY IS ZAMBIA CALLED ZAMBIA? Zambia wasn't always Zambia. For 70 years, this country was named after the man who colonized it. This video breaks down how Northern Rhodesia — a name imposed by British colonizer Cecil Rhodes — was rejected at independence in 1964, and replaced with a name pulled from the land itself: the Zambezi River. It's the story of how a nation used a single word to reclaim its identity from empire, told through the fight led by Kenneth Kaunda and the nation's first steps into independence. #Zambia #AfricaHistory #Independence #ZambeziRiver #KennethKaunda
