Did you know that the shortest war in history lasted only 38 minutes? It was fought between the countries of Zanzibar and Great Britain on August 27, 1896. The war was sparked by a dispute over the succession of the Zanzibar Sultanate, and the British quickly defeated the smaller Zanzibar army. The conflict resulted in the death of around 500 Zanzibari soldiers and civilians, while the British suffered only one injury.
