In 1891, the area of Africa currently known as Malawi was colonized by the British. In 1953, Malawi then known as Nyasaland, became part of the semi-independent Central African Federation (CAF). The Federation was dissolved in 1963, and on July 6th 1964, Nyasaland became independent from British rule and renamed itself Malawi.
