Important Events in Kenyan History from 1952 to 1960

Here’s a link to the National Army Museum website that describes the history of Kenya from 1952 to 1960. On this website, you'll find 12 slides providing a brief history concerning important events that took place in Kenya during the colonial period such as the uprising of the Mau Mau (Kenyan freedom fighters), the State of Emergency, detention, the hiding places of the Mau Mau, and among others. Along with the descriptions, there are images showing some weapons that were used by the Mau Mau. The most interesting image is the “pass” that was given to Mau Mau guerrillas who surrendered during the State of Emergency in 1955. Below is a copy of that document written in English, Kiswahili, and Kikuyu. Click on the image to enlarge it.
