Tanzania's geography, one of the most varied in the world, contains Mount Kilimanjaro, as well as Lake Victoria, Serengeti National Parks, and Zanzibar Islands. It has two branches of the East African Rift System that runs in the north-south direction through the country. Different geographic influence in countries in Africa thus led to different purposes during colonialism.(1) Mount Kilimanjaro and Serengeti National Parks have contributed to the tourism industry in Tanzania and boosted their economy post-colonialism. While Zanzibar’s unique ecological context is ideal for exploring specific environmental topics, including coral reef conservation, tropical forest management, and natural resource management.(2) However, during colonialism, the Europeans saw Tanzania as a suitable place for agriculture because of the amount of plains Tanzania has and its moderate weather.  Since 1657, the increased number of colonizers in Africa, especially the south of the equator, deprived the locals of land and led to impoverishment subsequently.(3) Another reason that the Europeans imposed colonization in Tanzania was due to the abundant resource in its territory, for example, minerals like gold, diamond, and tin were all mined there.(4) By the 1890s, the Germans began to take control of Tanzania and utilized their geographic features for many purposes. The economy of Tanzania was primarily based on cash crops such as coffee, tea, and sisal, designated for consumption in the markets of the British metropole.(5) As the Germans colonized, they produced crops such as sisal, cotton, and plantation-grown rubber. Because of their location of being close to the Indian ocean, the British took advantage and exported trades through Tanzania.(6) Zanzibar island, in particular, is the main island in the Tanzanian archipelago of Zanzibar that acted as a cultural center for Tanzania both now and during colonialism. (7)The continued exploitation thus resulted in widespread impovishment in Tanzania and negatively impacted the economic structure for local Tanzanians.
