"The Anglo-Zanzibar War was a military conflict fought between the United Kingdom and the Zanzibar Sultanate on 27 August 1896. The conflict lasted between 38 and 45 minutes, marking it as the shortest recorded war in history."

500 killed or wounded (including civilians) from the Zanzibari sides, 1 British wounded.

Britain bombed the shit of the Sultan's Harem, imagine taking a nap and finding out war broke out and it was already over
