The East African island of Zanzibar was an international slave-trading center. True False
What do you believe the answer to be?
I Was Thinking False?
I think False
People have lived in Zanzibar for 20,000 years. History proper starts when the islands became a base for traders voyaging between the African Great Lakes, the Arabian peninsula, and the Indian subcontinent. Unguja offered a protected and defensible harbor, so although the archipelago had few products of value, Omanis and Yemenis settled in what became Zanzibar City (Stone Town) as a convenient point from which to trade with towns on the Swahili Coast. They established garrisons on the islands and built the first mosques in the African Great Lakes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Zanzibar
