Before World War I, this area formed part of German East Africa. It was mandated to Britain after World War I and (in 1946) became a trust territory under the United Nations.
In 1935, stamps of the mandate were replaced by those used jointly by Kenya, Uganda and Tanganyika. On Dec. 9, 1961, Tanganyika became independent. On Dec. 9, 1962, it became a republic.
April 26, 1964, it joined Zanzibar to form the United Republic of Tanganyika and Zanzibar (later renamed Tanzania).
