The shortest war in history was between  Britain and Zanzibar on August 27, 1896, and lasted only XX minutes. The war was sparked by a dispute over who should be the ruler of Zanzibar, with both Britain and Zanzibar having different claims. The war was fought entirely at sea, with the two opposing naval fleets clashing in a short and decisive battle. The result was that Zanzibar surrendered after just XX minutes of fighting, and the war was over. This brief conflict has since become famous as the shortest war in history.
