Stamps from Tanganyika

Tanganyika

This area in East Africa was the first to be colonized by Germany (see German colonies - German East Africa). After the First World War, Great Britain obtained the mandate, under the name Tanganyika. Initially, stamps of "East Africa and Uganda Protectorates" were used, overprinted with "GEA" for German East Africa. Between 1922 and 1935, stamps with the inscription Tanganyika were used for the first time. After a postal union with Kenya and Uganda, stamps of the East African Community were used between 1935 and 1961 (see there). In 1961, the area became independent from Great Britain and stamps with the inscription Tanganyika were reintroduced. In 1964, the country merged with Zanzibar, under the name Tanzania (see there).

Dit gebied in Oost-Afrika werd als eerste door Duitsland gekoloniseerd (zie Duitse koloniën - Duits Oost-Afrika). Na de Eerste Wereldoorloog verkreeg Groot-Brittannië het mandaat, onder de naam Tanganyika. In eerste instantie werden zegels van "East Africa and Uganda Protectorates" gebruikt, overdrukt met "G.E.A." voor German East Africa. Tussen 1922 en 1935 werden voor het eerst zegels met het opschrift Tanganyika toegepast. Na een postale unie met Kenya en Uganda werden tussen 1935 en 1961 zegels van de Oost-Afrikaanse Gemeenschap gebruikt (zie aldaar). In 1961 werd het gebied onafhankelijk van Groot-Brittainië en werden weer zegels met opschrift Tanganyika ingevoerd. In 1964 fuseerde het land met Zanzibar, onder de naam Tanzania (zie aldaar).
