Tanganyika

I wonder how many different countries which existed in the days of the British Empire people can now remember? I remember a Greek articled clerk I knew in around 1964 whose family had, apparently, had a sisal plantation in Tanganyika. His father owned ships too and he could not understand why, at 19, he was not immediately allowed to drive off a brand new Volvo he bought and paid for with a cheque!
