The Anglo-Zanzibar War, fought on August 27, 1896, holds the record for the shortest war in history, lasting approximately 38 to 45 minutes. The conflict arose after the death of the pro-British Sultan Hamad bin Thuwaini and the subsequent succession of Sultan Khalid bin Barghash, who opposed British influence. The British, favoring a different successor, bombarded the Sultan's palace, leading to a swift victory. The war resulted in significant casualties for Zanzibar, with an estimated 500 casualties, while the British suffered only one wounded.
