Great Britain's colonization in Kenya affected the country's religion and culture, education,
and government. European colonization in Kenya had a large impact on Africa's religion and culture. Africa had over 100 ethnic groups in which were effected from the colonization.
Not only did the British spend an estimated £55 million suppressing the uprising, they also
carried out massacres of civilians, forced several hundred thousand Kenyans into
concentration camps, and suspended civil liberties in some cities. Colonialism changed politics for everyone living there. The population of Kenya contained a large amount of different ethnic groups all living together under British rule, and only 3 percent of Kenya's population was non-African. A policy of indirect rule was used in Africa by
the British. The British ruled Kenya through a native authority. Imperialism forced the natives to change their way of government, as they took their land without granting them any say or choice. European influence affected Kenya even after they achieved their independence as Kenyatta became the first president of
independent Kenya.
