-*Originally inhabited by Khoisan peoples, the region was affected by the Bantu expansion of the thirteenth century. Following European explorers in the eighteenth century, the British colonized the region into the British protectorates of Barotseland-North-Western Rhodesia and North-Eastern Rhodesia towards the end of the nineteenth century. These were merged in 1911 to form Northern Rhodesia. For most of the colonial period, Zambia was governed by an administration appointed from London with the advice of the British South Africa Company. On 24 October 1964, Zambia became independent of the United Kingdom.
-*Immigrants, mostly '''British or South African''', as well as some white Zambian citizens of British descent, live mainly in Lusaka and in the Copperbelt in northern Zambia, where they are either employed in mines, financial and related activities or retired. There were 70,000 Europeans in Zambia in 1964, but many have since left the country.
-*Zambia has a small but economically important '''Asian population, most of whom are Arabs, Indians and Chinese'''. This minority group has a massive impact on the economy controlling the manufacturing sector. An estimated 80,000 Chinese are resident in Zambia. In recent years, several hundred '''dispossessed white farmers have left Zimbabwe at the invitation of the Zambian government, to take up farming in the Southern province.'''<ref>"Zambia", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zambia#Ethnic_groups, accessed 31 July 2021.</ref>
