The Mau Mau uprising began in the 1950s in Kenya as a response to British colonial rule and the oppressive socio-economic conditions faced by the Kikuyu people. Discontent over land dispossession, political marginalization, and economic exploitation fueled the movement, which sought to reclaim land and independence. The Mau Mau were initially organized through secret societies and employed guerrilla warfare tactics against colonial authorities. The uprising ultimately led to a violent conflict that lasted from 1952 to 1960, significantly influencing Kenya's path to independence.
The Mau Mau were a militant group formed in the 1950s in Kenya, primarily composed of the Kikuyu ethnic community, that fought against British colonial rule. Their goal was to achieve independence for Kenya and to reclaim land that had been appropriated by European settlers. The Mau Mau employed guerrilla warfare tactics and faced severe repression from colonial authorities, which led to a protracted conflict known as the Mau Mau Uprising. Ultimately, their struggle contributed to Kenya gaining independence in 1963.
