**THE ANGLO-ZANZIBAR WAR (1896)** 
The unique war between England vs Zanzibar on August 27, 1896, lasted only 40 minutes. This is the shortest war in history. The trigger of the war was British pro-death, Sultan Hamd bin Thuwaini against his successor, Sultan Khalid bin Barghash.
As per the agreement signed in 1886, the successor of the Sultan had to consent to the British consul, but Khalid violated the agreement, without British consent, Khalid ascended the throne.
The English were outraged and gave the ultimatum to abdicate, but Khalid ignored it. Instead, responding to the British ultimatum, Khalid mobilized his armed forces and razed his castle from the British attack. Angry England! Khalid's defensive attitude was answered by England with an attack on the morning of 27 August. The British bombarded the Khalid Palace and dismembered the army that guarded the palace. There are at least 500 casualties from Khalid, while only one British naval soldier is injured. The brief war lasted only 40 minutes. Sultan Khalid had to bow his knees!
