The actual rebellion began in 1952, with roots beginning in the late 19th century and early 20th century, owing to the acquisition of land by the white European settlers under British rule.

How did the mau mau start?

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.
