Zambia, officially the Republic of Zambia, is a landlocked country at the crossroads of Central, Southern and East Africa. The territory of Zambia was known as Northern Rhodesia from 1911 to 1964. It was renamed Zambia in October 1964 on its independence from British rule. The name Zambia derives from the Zambezi River (Zambezi means "the grand river").
