I don't have any information about a war. But while it was a colony of Great Britain, it was linked in 1953 with Northern and Southern Rhodesia and became the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland. In 1964, the protectorate over Nyasaland was ended and it became an independent country although still ruled by Queen Elizabeth II. It became a republic 2 years later. 
 Hello, I'm interested in learning about the demographics of Malawi. 
 Did the country go to war with Britain for independence? 
 Looks like I'll have to do some math there. What other things about the country do you think might be of interest? 
 Besides Lake Malawi, is there anything else you can tell me about the country's geography?
