Tanzania is devided into 30 administrative regions, Twenty-five on the Mainland Tanzania and Five in the Island of Zanzibar.Regions are subdivided in districts which are craeted to further increase local authority, in addition,within each district there are either one or more councils which also known as local government authorities.

History:Tanzania is probably one of the oldest rich in resources(raw materials) and continuously-inhabited area on earth,this is due to the fossil remains of humans and pre-human hominids dating back over to two million years which have been found in tanzania.Travelers and merchants from the persian Gulf and Western India have visted the East African coast since early in the first millenium A.D.Islam was practiced on the Swahili coast as early as the eighth or ninth century.Claiming the coastal strip,Oman Sultan Seyyid Said moved his capital to Zanzibar city in 1840.During this time,Zanzibar became the centre for the Arab Slave trade.Between 65% and 90% of the population of Arab-Swahili Zanzibar was enslaved.One of the most famous slave traders on the East Africa coast was Tippu Tip,who was himself the grandson of an enslaved African.
In the late 19th Century,the Imperial German conquered the regions which by now form Tanzania(except Zanzibar),Rwanda and Burundi and incorporated them into German East Africa.The Post-World War 1 treaties and the League of Nations charter designated the area to a be under the British mandate,except for a small area in the northwest which was ceded to Belgium and later became Rwanda and Burundi.
British rule came to an end on 9th December 1961,after a relatively peaceful transition to independence.In 1954 Mwl.Julius Nyerere transformed a social organization into the politically-oriented Tanganyika African National Union(TANU).Whereby TANU's main objective was to achieve national sovereignty for Tanganyika.After the Zanzibar Revolution overthrew the Arab dynasty in naighbouring Zanzibar which had become independent in 1963.However,through this core and historical event,the Island merged with mainland Tanganyika to form the Nation of Tanzania on 26th April 1964.
Politics:Tanzania's President and National Assembly members are elected concurrently by direct popular vote for five-years term.The President has constitutional mandate to appoint out a Prime Minister who serves as the government's leader in the National Assembly.Also the President appoints his/her cabinet from among the National Assembly members.Zanzibar 's house of representatives has jurisdication over all non-union matters.In particular,it can make laws for Zanzibar without the approval of the Union Government,as long as they do not involve union desginated issues.The terms of office for Zanzibar's President and House of Representatives also are five-years term.The semiautonomous relationship between zanzibar and the Union is a unique system of the Government.
