- suggest: ... that the United Tanganyika Party was established in the Tanganyika Territory by the British authorities in 1956 as a counterweight to the African nationalist Tanganyika African National Union? (192 characters) or ... that despite the support of the British authorities the multi-racial United Tanganyika Party was unsuccessful, with the African nationalist TANU winning a majority in the 1958–59 general election? (196 characters) I just wonder how many people remember that Tanganyika was a colony? Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 06:14, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
