Lado Enclave

1894–1910 · 19th century

The Lado Enclave was a territory on the west bank of the upper White Nile leased by Britain to Leopold II of Belgium in 1894 for his lifetime, giving the Congo Free State access to the Nile. Administered from Lado, it reverted to the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan in 1910 after his death, and its lands are now divided between South Sudan and Uganda.
