- User Conditions:
- Administrative Context:
- Zanzibar had been a dependency of the Sultanate of Muscat from 1730. When the Sultan transferred his capital there from Muscat in 1843 the British set up a political agency on the island. The Agent was mainly subordinate to the Bombay Government 1843-1873 and Government of India 1873-1883 but also corresponded directly with London; responsibility for the agency passed to HM Foreign Office in 1883 (later to the Colonial Office). The port of Aden was occupied by the British in 1839 (adjacent territory acquired 1868), and from 1839 to 1932 Aden was subordinate to the Bombay Government.
