Over the centuries it has been an important commercial hub, for slave trade as well; it was a stop for big commercial ships coming from all empires, from the Roman to Great Britain. At the end of the Nineteenth Century it became an English protectorate and gained some independence. In 1964, it became independent and later it joined Tanganyika to create the heart of the current Tanzania.
