Tanzania was colonized by both the British and Germans due to the scramble for Africa by European powers in the late 19th century. The region that is now Tanzania was originally part of German East Africa, established by the German Empire in the 1880s. However, during World War I, British forces occupied German East Africa and the territory was mandated to Britain by the League of Nations after the war. This led to the division of Tanzania into British-administered Tanganyika and the British protectorate of Zanzibar. The British and Germans both had interests in the region for its resources, strategic location, and potential for economic exploitation.

Tanganyika (TZ) was not colonised by both the British and Germans. It was first colonised by the Germans in 1885 as part of German East Africa, and then by the British in 1919 as part of the Tanganyika Territory following the defeat of Germany in World War I.
