Zambia (1983: Doomsday)

&nbsp

Pre-Doomsday
The earliest inhabits of Zambia were Khoisan hunter-gatherers. In the 12th century, Bantu speakers started moving in. The British started colonizing Zambia in 1888. Zambia gained independence in 1964. Zambia’s first president, Kenneth Kaunda embarked on an economic program designed to make Zambia prosperous and self-sufficient. This program was a big failure. By the 1980’s Zambia was one of the most debt ridden countries in the world.

Post-DoomsdayEdit
Doomsday left Zambia highly unstable. During the 80’s and 90’s, Zambia suffered a series of riots and at least 3 coups. However, the central government barely managed to keep control of Zambia. Fortunately, Katanga offered Zambia an economic and military alliance in 1997.The situation in Zambia has been slowly stabilizing ever since.
