OP, Tanzania actually became independent on the 9 December, 1961 and not 1964 as stated in your post. The catch here is that from 1961-1964, it was known as the Republic of Tanganyika. 1964 was the year in which the Republic of Tanganyika[then already an independent country] merged with the People's Republic of Zanzibar to form/create the United Republic of Tanzania. https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.officeholidays.com/holidays/tanzania/tanzania-independence-day&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwimsI2n15npAhUOCewKHfGSDh0QFjALegQIBxAB&usg=AOvVaw3pLX8874FALKhp0Dcfl9wy What they actually get to celebrate every April 26 is what is known Union Day. That is to commemorate the merger of Tanganyika with Zanzibar. Asides that, every other thing here is spot on. Correct. |
