Question

What two developments led to the declaration of a state of emergency in 1952 by the governor of kenya?

Answer 1

The two developments that led to a state of emergency being formally declared in 1965 by the governor of Kenya were:

• Mau Mau attacks on individuals and settlements loyal to Britain.
• failure of a 1950 ban to stop the growth of the Mau Mau Rebellion.

Why did Kenya see a state of emergency in 1952?

As anti-colonial sentiment spread across Africa after World War II, Kenya was no different and the Mau Mau organization was one of those that pushed for independence in Kenya.

They went about it violently however by attacking individuals and settlements that were seen as pro-British and therefore had government protection.

This led to a ban in 1950 to stop the growth of the Mau Mau organization. This ban failed however, as the Mau Mau only grew in numbers and popularity.

In the end, the governor had to declare a state of emergency to deal with the Mau Mau Uprising.
