Tanzania+History

New Monkey! May 23, 2005

Tanzania is the result of a political union between mainland Tanganyika and the off-shore islands of Zanzibar and Pemba. It was not until the middle of the 17th century when Arab traders and slavers first entered the country. 60% of Tanzanias live on less then $2.00 a day. Tanzanians who succesfully complete secondary education will immediately earn almost three times as much as someone who didn't, and the disparity grows each year.
