Britain gains vast new territory in kingly arbitration tale
In a little known arbitration, King Edward VII expands the empire by 800000 square miles, adding Barotil in Central Africa south of the Congoree State and west of Northern Rhodesia. The rival claim by Portugal is settled by an Italian king, splitting Hatotel ruler Lewantka’s dominion and stirring questions about tribal status and control of Zambesi waters.
