World’s Shortest War 😂 Anglo-Zanzibar War #shorts #history #warAjouté :
Imagine a war that started and ended and no one could even understand what happened. This is the Anglo Zanzibar War. The shortest and strangest war in history which started on 27 August 1896 and ended in just 38 to 45 minutes. Meaning the tea had not even cooled down and the war was over. This war took place between Britain and Zanzibar when the new Sultan was not ready to give up power.
Then the British Navy started firing cannons directly at the Sultan's palace and the devastation was so severe that the Zanzibar army could not withstand it. The result was that surrender took place within a few minutes and became the shortest war record in history.
