The Shortest War in History

from History Buffs or Bluffs · host Kyle and Sydney Kochenberger

At the height of their reign, the British Empire had controlling stakes all over the world. They seized power and resources, from the largest countries to the smallest islands. It was on one of these islands, that a small rebellion took place. The people of Zanzibar, led by a man desperate for change, tried to take the throne from the British in an attempt for control. It was here, where the true might of the British Empire is shown, by taking part in the shortest war in history. Will the people of Zanzibar gain their freedom? Will the British squash this rebellion flat? Or was this a carefully crafted lie by Kyle? Tune in now to find out!
