The Anglo-Zanzibar War was fought between the United
Kingdom and the Zanzibar Sultanate on 27 August 1896. The conflict lasted
around 40 minutes, and is the shortest war in history. The immediate cause of
the war was the death of the pro-British Sultan Hamad bin Thuwaini on 25
August 1896 and the subsequent succession of Sultan Khalid bin Barghash.
