The Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland (also known as the Central African Federation), established on 1 August 1953, was a colonial federation that consisted of three southern African territories: the self-governing British colony of Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and the British protectorates of Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) and Nyasaland (now Malawi), between 1953 and 1963. The capital city of the Federation was Salisbury (now Harare, Zimbabwe).
