Excerpt: This timeline of Tanzanian history is a chronological list of major events concerning the citizens of Tanzania, including Zanzibar, the former territory of Tanganyika, and the surrounding areas prior to European colonisation. Human habitation in the region began at least 100,000 years ago. Archaeological evidence indicates the presence of Australopithecus afarensis hominids in the region more than 3 million years ago and Paranthropus hominins more than 2 million years ago. Khoisan people are thought to have migrated to the area as hunter-gatherers approximately 10,000 years ago. European contact in East Africa was made in the 15th century by the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama. He landed at Kilimane (now in Tanzania) in 1498. Zanzibar, an island archipelago east of the mainland, was acquired by the Portuguese Empire and remained its territory for nearly 200 years. The area was captured by the Sultan of Oman in 1698. Colonial involvement in the region increased in the 19th century. German East Africa was formed on the mainland in 1885 and Zanzibar came under British control in 1890. Six years later, the Anglo-Zanzibar War was fought on the island, the shortest war in history. Chief Mkwawa of the Hehe and insurgents allied with the Maji Maji Rebellion resisted colonial rule in German East Africa. German involvement ended after the First World War when the United Kingdom took over Tanganyika as a League of Nations mandate. Tanganyika social and political groups began to mobilise during the middle of the century and in 1961 former school teacher Julius Nyerere became the first Prime Minister. Tanganyika achieved its independence in 1962, with Nyerere as president, and Zanzibar followed a year later. The two nations merged in 1964 and became known as Tanzania. Nyerere ruled a one-party nation for more than 20 years, introducing his vision of African socialism, Ujamaa. He stepped down in 1985 and was succeeded by Ali Hassan Mwinyi.
