A beautiful day to everyone, may your day be fruitful.

The shortest war in history was between Britain and Zanzibar on August 27, 1896. It lasted only 38 minutes!

This brief conflict is remarkable not only for its incredibly short duration but also for the stark power imbalance between the two sides.

Here are some additional details about the Anglo-Zanzibar War:

Causes: The primary reason for the war was a dispute over the succession to the Sultanate of Zanzibar. Following the death of Sultan Hamad bin Thuwaini, who had been pro-British, a successor, Sultan Khalid bin Barghash, was chosen without British approval. The British favored another candidate, Sultan Hamoud bin Mohammed, who was more sympathetic to British interests.

British Ultimatum: In response to the succession dispute, the British government issued an ultimatum to Sultan Khalid, demanding that he step down from the throne by 90 a.m. on August 27, 1896. The ultimatum threatened military action if the demand was not met.

Quick Conflict: When Sultan Khalid refused to comply with the ultimatum, the British launched an attack with their naval forces. The Royal Navy bombarded the Sultan's palace and other key positions in Zanzibar. The Sultan's defenses, which included some artillery pieces and a small force of soldiers, were quickly overwhelmed.

Outcome: The bombardment lasted for only about 38 minutes, making it the shortest recorded war in history. The British forces suffered minimal casualties, while the Sultan's forces and palace sustained significant damage.

Surrender: Realizing the futility of resistance, Sultan Khalid sought refuge in the German consulate, where he was granted asylum. The British installed their preferred candidate, Sultan Hamoud, as the ruler of Zanzibar, effectively ending the war.

Legacy: The Anglo-Zanzibar War remains a notable historical event due to its brevity and the overwhelming British military superiority. It also reflects the imperialistic tendencies of the British Empire during the late 19th century when they sought to exert control over various territories in Africa and elsewhere.

In summary, the Anglo-Zanzibar War of 1896 is remarkable for its incredibly short duration, with hostilities lasting only 38 minutes, and for the significant power imbalance between the British Empire and the Sultanate of Zanzibar. It serves as an interesting footnote in the history of British colonialism in Africa.

🧡 Matrimonial Bed 🛏️

Mary and Jayna got into a simple argument. Mary gladly told her friend Jayna,
"William just proposed to me,"
"But you never told me you were engaged to him?" Jayna was shocked, and Mary apologized,
"Sorry, i never told you because i thought he was not serious too,"
"Have you tried to know, if he is a real man?"
"What do you mean by that? i don't seem to get you well,"
"Have you tested the capability of his manhood?"

"We pentecostals christians don't do that, no sleep with each other till marriage?"
"Hmm!" Jayna exclaimed and Mary asked,
"What do you mean by hmm?"
"Don't be deceived by William's handsome face and muscular outlook or riches. That guy is a one minute man,"
"What? Have you slept with him before,"

"No!"
"Then why are you calling him a minute man?"
Mary was furious and Jayna tried to explain,
"A friend who is his mate from the university, told me her friends used to laugh at him as a minute man. He was every girls dream but ended up being a laughing stock by all the girls he slept with. To tell you the truth, he is handsome and rich, but that thing between his leg is useless,"

"Just listen to you when you speak, like pagans do. William is a repented man,"
"A repented flirt right?"
"Just stop it please," Mary was boiling with anger, and claimed,
"My God will proof you wrong,"
"Sorry, i was just trying to make you start asking questions. You are my friend and i know you also repented. There is no need running away from the truth,"
"Which truth, are you the one getting married to him?"

The argument created misunderstanding between them and they became cold towards each other. Mary never thought it wise to question William's uprightness on bed, a man she was going to spent the rest of her life with. Must we worry about our future in the bedroom?
