The shortest war in recorded history lasted between 38 and 45 minutes.

It took place on August 27, 1896, between the United Kingdom and the Sultanate of Zanzibar. After the Sultan refused to step down following a British ultimatum, British warships bombarded the royal palace. The Sultan’s forces were quickly overwhelmed, and the conflict ended in well under an hour.

A few interesting details:

The British suffered only one minor injury.
Zanzibar’s forces suffered hundreds of casualties.
The Sultan fled to the German consulate, and a British-backed ruler was installed afterward.
