The shortest war in history lasted 38 to 45 minutes: The Anglo-Zanzibar War, which took place on August 27, 1896, holds the record for being the shortest war ever recorded. It began when the Sultan of Zanzibar died, and a successor not recognized by the British took power. The conflict started at 9:02 a.m. and ended around 9:40 a.m., with the British emerging victorious.
