Sultanate of Zanzibar [British Protectorate]
The Sultanate of Zanzibar (Arabic: سلطنة زنجبار), also known as the Zanzibar Sultanate was a country and protectorate of the United Kingdom that existed on the Zanzibar Archipelago off the coast of East Africa between 1856 and 1964. It also controlled parts of what is now the eastern coast of Tanzania, of which it became a constituent part in 1964 after the unification of Zanzibar and Tanganyika. → see under British East Africa |
