How it ended, as its article says

Partitioned by Oman, 1856. Read from the article's section “History - Decline” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.

When a succession crisis occurred in 1856, the Omani Empire was divided between the Sultanate of Oman and Muscat and the Sultanate of Zanzibar.

8 rulers, 8 with terms dated as terms, covering 1711 – 1804. Median reign 2.5 years. 1 of 7 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
