The evolution of the tanga in American culture during the late 1980s and early 1990s represents the conclusion of a minimalist progression that acquires momentum with the exposure of buttocks via the v-kini and halfback in the early 1980s, and which ends by the bikiniite exposing all of her buttocks (CI8906, CB9005).
Tanga is also a silhouette of underwear (KN9202), and throughout the late 1990s the treatment of tanga in advertising and catalogs sometimes depict the buttocks and often not.
Tangas have a special affinity with the t-back, in which a vertical of cloth between the shoulder blades mimics the strip of fabric between the cheeks of the buttocks (PB87BC).
The Battle of Tanga (sometimes nicknamed the "Battle of the Bees") was the blundered attempt by the United Kingdom to capture German East Africa (present-day Tanzania) during World War I.
Tanga, situated on a high plateau only 80km from the border of British East Africa (today Kenya), was a busy seaport and the site of the crucial Usambara Railway, which ran from the city to the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro.
This time, he was not so lucky, and Tanga's garrison ambushed them and quickly broke their advance.
