Various independent
movements emerged around this time, including the Tanganyika Africa National
Union (TANU), headed by Julius Nyerere, now the former president of Tanzania.
Support for TANU grew, and by 1960, the first elections were planned for
Tanganyika. On 9 December 1961, Tanganyika became an independent republic and

In 1962, it became a
one party state under Julius Nyerere, following Nyerere’s ideologically-driven

December has become known as Tanzania Day and is celebrated annually.
