Although Barotseland was incorporated into Northern Rhodesia, it retained a large degree of autonomy, which was carried over when Northern Rhodesia became Zambia on its independence in 1964.
Iako je Barotseland bio uključen u Sjevernu Rodeziju, sačuvao je znatnu autonomiju, što se zadržalo i kada je Sjeverna Rodezija postala nezavisna država Zambija godine 1964.
