Abstract

The borderline in African Continent, where is multiracial, was designated based on Berlin Conference of 1885. While each colony tried to become independent aiming at the formation of one-nation-state, many of them repeatedly experienced ethnic conflicts. However, Tanzania has not experienced major ethnic conflicts or a civil war since its independence 50 years ago. This presentation looks back the recent contemporary history of Tanzania since the mid-19th century.
