Tanganyika (1961–1964)
Republic of Tanganyika
Independent from Britain in 1961 under Julius Nyerere, Tanganyika merged with the island republic of Zanzibar on 26 April 1964 to form a new union state.
The name Tanzania is a portmanteau — TANganyika + ZANzibar — picked through a public naming competition in 1964.
