Introduction: Toward a Transcolonial History of Victoria Falls

Victoria Falls emerges as a pivotal site for understanding British colonial expansion, challenging the conventional colony-by-colony historical approach. This study reveals that the Falls served as a contested terrain and a natural border between North Western Rhodesia and Southern Rhodesia, reflecting the complex interplay of interests among various colonial actors. The analysis demonstrates how the exploitation of African resources and competing visions shaped the development around Victoria Falls, offering a transcolonial perspective on British Southern Africa's history.
