The Shortest War: The Anglo Zanzibar War. - Military History Animated.

The anglo Zanzibar war was the shortest conflict in history. The war was just 38 minutes long, and surprisingly blood with 500 dying in the palace alone. In the end, the usurper fled the palace, which was under bombardment from the men of war in the harbor. In the end, he would flee the country, while the pro-British Sultan Mohammed took leadership of the country.

Information is derived from a number of historical sources including websites, historians, and literature. The fog of history is a real thing, even relatively recent events often have sources in disagreement or relying on one another. When possible information is derived from first-hand sources and where not possible information is found by taking multiple second-hand sources. It is not possible for anyone to guarantee perfect historical accuracy, but I do my absolute best to ensure that all information in my videos is well sourced and backed up by historical sources and evidence.
