Why did Tanganyika the first to get it's independence?

Tanganyika was the first country in East Africa to gain independence because it had a relatively peaceful transition from colonial rule to self-governance. The country had a strong nationalist movement led by leaders such as Julius Nyerere, who advocated for independence through non-violent means. Additionally, Tanganyika had a relatively stable political and social environment compared to other African countries, which allowed for a smoother transition to independence. The British colonial government also supported the idea of granting independence to Tanganyika, further facilitating the process.
