Africa is a continent, not a country. I believe it has been defined as such since the time of the Ancient Greeks.
There were many African countries that became independent immediately after World War 2. This was because the European countries that had ownership over the African countries were broke after the war and had no more money to deal with rebuilding the African countries.
no they became an independent country in 2012.

Tanzania
In 1964, Tanganyika and the nearby country Zanzibar joined together to make a new independent country called Tanzania.
Tanzania
Tanzania actually used to be two different countries. It was formed from a colony named Tanganyika and an island named Zanzibar. They made the name like this: Tan [ganyika] + Zan [zibar] + ia [ suffix for country ]. I hope that's good enough.
No. Tanzania is a nation in Africa formed by the union of Zanzibar and Tanganyika.
Tanzania's full name is the United Republic of Tanzania. It was formed in 1964 through the union of two countries: Tanganyika and Zanzibar. The capital city is Dodoma, and the country is located in East Africa, bordered by the Indian Ocean to the east.
One notable pair of African countries that was once a single country is Sudan and South Sudan. They were united as one nation until South Sudan gained independence in July 2011, making it the world's newest country. Another example is Tanzania, which was formed from the union of two territories, Tanganyika and Zanzibar, in 1964.

Tanzania it is located in Africa named after the combination of the names Tanganyika (referring to the mainland British colony) and Zanzibar (referring to the island archipelago off the coast).
Kenya, Tanganyika (now Tanzania) and Uganda are 3 separate countries that often jointly issue stamps that can be used in all 3 countries, so they put all 3 country names on those stamps.
Zimbabwe, Zambia, Zanzibar (although it is technically not a country)
The Germans originally colonised the area of Tanganyika in the 19th century. At that time Zanzibar was under Arab control. After the end of WW1, Tanganyika passed to British control until it became officially independent in 1961. Shortly after this they merged with Zanzibar and officially became Tanzania.
