Tanganyika
|
|
A *mandated territory administered by Britain after World War I, having previously been German East Africa. Agreed spheres of influence in the late 19C had given this area to Germany and neighbouring *Kenya to Britain. Julius *Nyerere (b. 1922) became in 1961 the first prime minister of the newly independent Tanganyika and in 1964 the president of *Tanzania, a post which he held until his resignation in 1985.
