🇹🇿 Tanzania (Tanganyika) Independence – December 9, 1961.

On December 9, 1961, Tanganyika (the mainland part of today’s Tanzania) gained full independence from British colonial rule, marking a major milestone in East African history.

🌍 Background

Tanganyika had been a German colony from the late 1800s until World War I, after which it became a British-administered territory under the League of Nations and later the United Nations.

By the 1950s, African nationalism was rising across the continent. In Tanganyika, the movement was led by the charismatic teacher-turned-freedom-fighter:

Julius Kambarage Nyerere
• Founder and leader of the Tanganyika African National Union (TANU).
• Advocated peaceful negotiations instead of violence.
• Became the symbol of unity and independence.

Under his leadership, TANU mobilized the masses and pressed Britain for self-rule.

🎉 The Day of Independence

On December 9, 1961:
• The British flag (Union Jack) was lowered
• The new Tanganyika national flag was raised
• Julius Nyerere became the Prime Minister, and later in 1962, the President

Thousands celebrated across the country with dances, parades, and songs of freedom.

🤝 Formation of Tanzania

Three years later, in 1964, Tanganyika united with the island of Zanzibar to form the modern nation of:

🇹🇿 The United Republic of Tanzania

This union remains one of the most successful political mergers in Africa.

On 08/12/1941, USA 🇺🇸 entered world war2.

Reason.

On December 7, 1941, the Japanese Empire launched a sudden military strike on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. It was a carefully planned surprise attack involving aircraft carriers, bombers, and fighter planes.

What Japan Wanted.

Japan was aggressively expanding across Asia and the Pacific, trying to build a massive empire.
But the U.S. opposed these expansions and had placed economic sanctions on Japan, including:
• Cutting off U.S. oil supplies
• Restricting steel and machinery exports

These sanctions were hurting Japan’s military operations. To secure resources and neutralize American interference, Japan decided to attack the U.S. Pacific Fleet.

The Attack on Pearl Harbor.

On the morning of December 7:
• Over 350 Japanese aircraft bombed the harbor
• Eight U.S. battleships were sunk or badly damaged
• Over 2,400 Americans were killed
• Hundreds of planes and military facilities were destroyed

The attack shocked the American public, which had largely wanted to stay out of the war.

America’s Decision

On December 8, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt addressed Congress in his famous speech calling it:

“A date which will live in infamy.”

Congress immediately voted.
Only one person voted against entering the war.

📌 The United States officially declared war on Japan on December 8, 1941.

What Happened Next
• Germany and Italy (Japan’s allies under the Tripartite Pact) declared war on the U.S.
• America entered the war on both the Pacific and European fronts
• This changed the course of World War II completely.

Nelson Mandela died on December 5, 2013, at his home in Houghton, Johannesburg, at the age of 95.

Cause of Death.

Mandela passed away due to complications from a recurrent lung infection.
• He had battled lung problems for many years — partly linked to the harsh conditions he endured during his long imprisonment on Robben Island.
• In the months before his death, he had been repeatedly hospitalized for respiratory issues.
• He eventually passed peacefully at home, surrounded by family.

His death marked the passing of one of the world’s most influential freedom fighters, peacemakers, and moral leaders.
