It is situated in the north of the archipelago of Zanzibar, in the ocean, in an environment 59 kilometers south of the main island of the archipelago, Pemba. Unguja et la Tanzania continental sont separated by the canal of Zanzibar. The intention of the Royaume Union as a manifesto in Zanzibar is based on the motivation for commerce and the determination of the end of the commerce of the esclaves in Zanzibar. In 1822, the Britanniques signed the Prime Minister's Series of Traits with the Sultan Said for Freiner ce Commerce. Since the British Empire was strong, the commerce of the esclaves was official in 1876, but the esclavage was established in Zanzibar in 1897. In 1890, the British Empire prends progressive control; The relationship is formalized by the Helgoland-Zanzibar trait of 1890, after which the Allemagne was engaged, and when it was chosen, only after interfering with the British interests in Zanzibar. This is a characteristic of Zanzibar and the protectorate of Britain (just a colony), and the band of Caprivi (which is the maintenant of Namibia) since it is part of Africa in the South-Ouest. A part of the 1895 year of the timbres of the music of Zanzibar. La 1913 jusqu'à l'indépendance en 1963, les Britanniques nommaient leurs propres résidents (essentiellement des governors).

E – Zanzibar (now Unguja) is a hilly island, about 85 kilometers long (north-south) and 30 kilometers wide (east-west) at its widest, with an overall area of about 1,666 square kilometers. It is located in the northern half of the Zanzibar Archipelago, in the Indian Ocean, about 59 kilometers south of the second largest island of the archipelago, Pemba. Unguja and mainland Tanzania are separated by the Zanzibar Channel. The United Kingdom's early interest in Zanzibar was motivated by both trade and the determination to end the Zanzibar slave trade. In 1822, the British signed the first of a series of treaties with Sultan Said to curb this trade. Under strong British pressure, the slave trade was officially abolished in 1876, but slavery itself remained legal in Zanzibar until 1897. Since 1890 the British Empire gradually took over; the relationship was formalized by the 1890 Heligoland-Zanzibar Treaty, in which Germany pledged, among other things, not to interfere with British interests in Zanzibar. This treaty made Zanzibar and Pemba a British protectorate (not colony), and the Caprivi Strip (in what is now Namibia) part of German South West Africa. In 1895 stamps were issued by the country under the name of Zanzibar. From 1913 until independence in 1963, the British appointed their own residents (essentially governors).

F - Zanzibar (aujourd’hui Unguja) est une île vallonnée, d’environ 85 kilomètres de long (nord-sud) et 30 kilomètres de large (est-ouest) à sa plus grande largeur, avec une superficie totale d’environ 1666 kilomètres carrés. Il est situé dans la moitié nord de l’archipel de Zanzibar, dans l’océan Indien, à environ 59 kilomètres au sud de la deuxième plus grande île de l’archipel, Pemba. Unguja et la Tanzanie continentale sont séparées par le canal de Zanzibar. L’intérêt que le Royaume-Uni a manifesté à Zanzibar dès le début était motivé par le commerce et la détermination de mettre fin au commerce des esclaves à Zanzibar. En 1822, les Britanniques signent le premier d’une série de traités avec le sultan Said pour freiner ce commerce. Sous la forte pression britannique, le commerce des esclaves est officiellement aboli en 1876, mais l’esclavage lui-même reste légal à Zanzibar jusqu’en 1897. À partir de 1890, l’Empire britannique prend progressivement le contrôle; la relation est formalisée par le traité d’Helgoland-Zanzibar de 1890, dans lequel l’Allemagne s’engage, entre autres choses, à ne pas interférer avec les intérêts britanniques à Zanzibar. Ce traité fait de Zanzibar et Pemba un protectorat britannique (pas une colonie), et la bande de Caprivi (dans ce qui est maintenant la Namibie) fait partie de l’Afrique du Sud-Ouest allemande.
