Original Note:
The tweet is historically inaccurate. Haute Katanga was never part of Northern Rhodesia but belonged to the Congo Free State (1885–1908) and later Belgian Congo. Queen Elizabeth II, who became queen in 1952, could not have ceded land to King Leopold II, who died in 1909. https://www.britannica.com/biography/Leopold-II-king-of-Belgium
