On December 12, 1963, a short time after the Mau Mau Rebellion that brought the country to a state of emergency and stretched the patience of British rule, Kenya established its independence with the introduction of the Constitution of Kenya. Later that year, the people had to fight for their independence once more when the Somalis attempted to take over and adopt Kenya into the Republic of Somalia. Kenya won the war in 1967.
