The Anglo-Zanzibar War, fought between the United Kingdom and the Sultanate of Zanzibar on August 27, 1896, is the shortest recorded war in history, lasting only about 38 minutes to 4 days, depending on the context. The conflict arose over a succession dispute following the death of the pro-British Sultan Hamad bin Thuwaini. The British supported a rival claimant, leading to a swift bombardment of the Sultan's palace and a quick victory for British forces. Zanzibar subsequently became a protectorate of the British Empire.
