Mau Mau
The Mau Mau Uprising of 1952 to 1960 is an insurgency by Kenyan rebels against the British colonialist rule. The core of the resistance is formed by members of the Kikuyu ethnic group, along with smaller numbers of Embu and Meru. A rift is created between the white colonial community in Kenya and the Home Office in London that sets the stage for Kenyan independence in 1963
