Tanzania, one of the least developed countries in the world.
In addition to the economy being mainly agricultural and basically self-sufficient in grain, its industrial technology is backward, and many daily consumer goods rely on imports to meet national demand.
However, in addition to poverty, Tanzania faces a national divide.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > confederation state established in the fall</h1>
In 1962, Tanganyika proclaimed the Republic of Tanganyika, and in 1964, Zanzibar proclaimed the Zanzibar People's Republic, thus ending the ten-century period of domination.
However, in that year, the two countries formed a united republic, called the United Republic of Tanzania!
It seems to be "happy knot", but in fact, there are many contradictions behind it!
1. How parallel lines meet, the seeds of the original origin have long been planted
The vast sea area around Zanzibar is not only a good trade area, but also an excellent strategic deployment area, and During the period of great trade, the richest Zanzibar, Pemba Island has never stopped being plundered.
In the 15th century, Zanzibar fell into a Portuguese colony, and in the early 16th century, the portuguese empire gradually declined, until the middle of the year, when the emerging Sultanate of Oman stormed Zanzibar, and Zanzibar gradually became an overseas territory of the Sultan of Oman.
In order to cultivate a large number of cloves in Sang and Ben Liang Islands, the Sultan of Oman made the original slave trade not serious, and Ben Liang Island became a distribution center for the sale of slaves in the case of urgent need for a large amount of labor.
The famous "Black Triangle Trade", the slave trade, was a gray trade in which European slave traders bought black slaves in Africa and sailed to the Americas to exchange slaves for resources.
In San, the slaves who were scattered on the two islands were partly from Zanzibar and partly from their neighbor, Tanganyika.
The Zanzibar region was mainly responsible for the trade in spices and slaves, while Tanganyika was responsible for providing most of the source of labour. This disguised relationship between slaves and slave owners was forcibly distorted by external forces, and it seemed to be closely linked as a vendetta, but in fact it was dignified and humiliated to poke the hearts of the people of Tanganyika.
There is a Catholic church on Moknaghini Street in Zanzibar, where it is said that the largest slave auction market in Zanzibar was located. Under the whipping of the leather whip, countless black slaves were led to the auction table like cattle, branded after the sale, and then led to the boat like cattle and distributed to various places.
There are no human rights here, and worthless slaves will be buried alive and executed.
Standing at the western end of the city, near the seaside, there is a "Rare Palace", which was originally part of the Sultan's Palace. This magnificent building has 40 stout columns, and under each column, 60 black slaves are buried alive.
Both the church and the "Palace of Curiosities" are soaked with the blood and tears of black slaves, and this geographical imprint is nothing more than the sword that pierces the people of Tanganyika, straight into the land of Zanzibar.
2. The same fallen people, when they meet each other, they also know each other
At the end of the 18th century, Germany negotiated with Britain to settle the East African territory, and as a result, Tanganyika belonged to Germany and Zanzibar became a British protectorate. Germany gained jurisdiction over ten miles off the coast of Tanganyika, and Britain became the new colonizer of Zanzibar.
The outbreak of World War I became a turning point in the whole situation.
The war between Germany and Britain brought the corresponding colonies into the struggle for resources, and the people of Tanganyika and Zanzibar were forced to get involved in this war, they were nothing more than cannon fodder, and the war between Germany and Britain instantly became a struggle between Tanganyika and Zanzibar.
At the end of World War I, the defeated Germany transferred its jurisdiction over Tanganyika to the British, becoming the British mandated territory. Germany's defeat was unforeseeable in Tanzania and Sessang, so they both realized that only a strong resistance could gain power and freedom!
In the mid-19th century, British officials controlled the top management of Tanzania and Sansk for almost all year round, and the local African people survived the oppression of the British and the local Arabs who emigrated from abroad, and racial discrimination made them lose even if they looked up, they could not see a little sunshine.
This overwhelming, suffocating control alarmed the Arabs, who realized that racial hatred was the most terrible.
In 1957, after suffering from all kinds of unequal treatment, fighting for independence in order to eliminate racial supremacy and gain human rights, the African Shiraz Party, a party with a predominantly socialist ideology, was founded.
Before the emergence of the Shiraz party, there were already many calls for Zanzibar independence, and the British were forced to allow local participation in the elections.
But with the British deliberately manipulating and even creating riots to interrupt the elections, the Shiraz Party did not win a majority in all three general elections, which made the local African people abandon politics and at the same time, exacerbated the pace of violent uprisings of the African people.
3. A ship forced by the situation to burn Chibi is damaged
Finally, in 1963, after the third general election, Zanzibar achieved "internal autonomy", and in December of the same year, a constitutional monarchy was established. In September 1964, the Shiraz Party, in conjunction with the Mass Party, launched an armed uprising that overthrew the Sultanate and established the Zanzibar People's Republic.
After the establishment of the republic, Sang then formed a revolutionary government and implemented a policy of repression.
The collapse of the Sultanate caused a huge blow to the opposition, and the Sang government implemented many radical policies with a single blow, which was strongly opposed by Britain, the United States and other countries, and constantly threatened with force.
In this situation of external and internal troubles, Sang wants to achieve complete independence and is struggling.
At this time, Zanzibar set its sights on its neighbor, Tanganyika, a new state with centuries-old ties to them.
Although Zanzibar is a hot potato, Tanganyika is very clear that no one wants to go back to the colonial period.
In 1964, Tanganyika agreed to the merger, and the two countries signed a treaty of merger, taking the first character of the two countries and naming the country the Federal Republic of Tanzania.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the eight characters are incompatible, such as hedgehog hugging groups</h1>
The black-and-white treaty did eliminate many external troubles, but the contradictions between the Tanzanian and Sansang peoples were increasing day by day.
In essence, the two countries did not completely merge.
Geographically, Zanzibar is an archipelago on the east coast, while Tanganyika is relatively a vast inland continent, and at first glance, San looks like a subsidiary island of Tanzania, which makes the Zanzibar people not be treated well in reputation.
From an economic point of view, Zanzibar has a business history of up to a thousand years, and the geographical advantage, not only has a large amount of wealth created by predecessors, but also has rich underground resources to be exploited, and the development potential is huge, and Tanganyika, which is mainly based on agriculture, is completely a "poor boy", which makes Zanzibar of "Rich Miss" not interested at all.
Religious differences are an important reason for their difficulty in integrating. 32 per cent of Tanganyika are Catholic and Christian, 30 per cent are Muslim, and almost all of Zanzibar are Muslim.
Under the collision of cultures, Tanganyika has far more people than Zanzibar, its grassroots is solid and immobile, and Zanzibar, which has unique external conditions, cannot succumb to Tanganyika.
The collision of histories also makes it impossible for them to be together. The presence of Arabs on the island of Zanzibar and every inch of land where the blood of the Tanganyika people is shed everywhere are a constant reminder of the historical humiliation and ethnic hatred of Tanganyika. The soul is already different, and no matter how the flesh is put together, it is also a superficial appearance, like the walking dead.
Under the forced merger of the two countries, Zanzibar is more like a small country in this big country, not dissolved like the Tanganyika government, Zanzibar has a complete system of government, and is not subject to Tanganyika in terms of activities, which gives Zanzibar plenty of room for maneuver.
Foreign favours and the pluralism of the new era have contributed to Zanzibar's sense of independence, and the discovery of oil has become an important factor in Zanzibar's desire for complete independence, and if the benefits of oil are distributed on the territory of Tanganyika, it is only a spark, and if it is sprinkled on the land of Zanzibar, which is a land of compact resources, it will undoubtedly blossom like manna everywhere.
Tanzania's united state now seems crumbling, and the relationships tied together by regulations are clearly not strong, from history, to faith, to economy, any of which is worth pondering.
