Why did the British declare a state of emergency in Kenya in 1952?

The British declared a state of emergency in Kenya in 1952 primarily due to the rise of the Mau Mau uprising, which was a violent rebellion against colonial rule. The movement was fueled by grievances over land dispossession, political exclusion, and economic inequalities faced by the Kikuyu people and other ethnic groups. The British government aimed to restore order and suppress the insurgency, leading to widespread arrests and a military campaign to regain control over the region. This declaration marked a significant escalation in the struggle for independence in Kenya.


What year was Kenya named Kenya?

Kenya's NameKenya - a wonderful sounding word is named after a mountain of the same name. It was given by the Kikuyu people who lived around present day Mt. Kenya, which they referred to as Kirinyaga or Kerenyaga, meaning 'mountain of whiteness' because of its snow capped peak (yes, Africa does have snow capped peaks). Mt Kirinyaga, which was the main landmark became synonymous with the territory the British later claimed as their colony. However, the name Kenya arose out of the inability of the British and others to pronounce Kirinyaga correctly.When one hears the name "Kenya," there are images of the savannas, animals, safari trips, the Rift Valley, the Indian Ocean coastline and Lake Victoria but Kenya is over (2003 estimate) 30 million people of various ethnic groups (47) and backgrounds and without having met the people of Kenya, one has not seen the real, living Kenya.This place was not named after Jomo Kenyatta, which was the first ever president of Kenya.
