In a surprising twist of history, Britain and Zanzibar
fought the shortest war ever! This super quick battle happened way back on
August 27th, 1896, and only lasted about 40 minutes! Zanzibar wanted their own
leader, but Britain disagreed.
They wanted someone else on the throne. To settle this,
Britain showed off their muscle. Their big warships blasted Zanzibar's palace
with cannons.
Zanzibar, overwhelmed by the firepower, gave up right away.
The war was so quick, most people didn't even know it happened! This whole
fight was shorter than a school day! This story shows how strong countries can
make big changes very fast.
