1 History

Main article: History of Tanzania

The area was a German colony from the 1880s to 1919, then became a British trust territory from 1919 to 1961. In 1964, Tanganyika and Zanzibar (which had become independent in 1963) merged to form the nation of Tanzania on April 26, 1964. One-party rule came to an end in October 1995 when Tanzania held its first ever multi-party election. Benjamin Mkapa was subsequently sworn in as the new president of the United Republic of Tanzania on 23 November, 1995.
