when was last government shutdown

The last U.S. government shutdown occurred from December 22, 2018, to January 25, 2019. It lasted 35 days, making it the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. The shutdown happened due to disagreements mainly over funding for a border wall requested by then-President Donald Trump. Approximately 800,000 federal employees were affected, with many furloughed and some required to work without pay. The shutdown caused significant disruption and economic loss estimated at billions of dollars.
