It was 38 minutes and neither of your two choices won. It was the United Kingdom that won.
Strictly speaking there was never a war between Zanzibar and England in 1896 that lasted about 38 minutes. However, there was a war between Zanzibar and the United Kingdom.
Since 1707 England[^] ceased to exist as a distict political entity. "It [England] has not had a distinct political identity since 1707, when the Kingdom of Great Britain was established as a unified political entity; however, it has a legal identity separate from those of Scotland and Northern Ireland, as part of the entity England and Wales[^]."
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question."
--Charles Babbage (1791-1871)

You leave home, go a distance, make a left turn, go the same distance, make another left, go the same distance again, make a left turn, and you return home finding 2 people there wearing masks. What have you just done?
