British Propaganda Film Covers the Mau-Mau Uprising ca. 1954

Description

In 1952, the Mau-Maus launched a rebellion against the British foreign rule in Kenya. The Mau-Mau's killed European settlers and African "loyalists" with equal abandon. The uprising continued until 1956 when British troops finally defeated the Mau-Mau's. The ultimate political impact of the rebellion was to make the injustices of European colonialism in Africa more visible to the world. In the two decades following, other African countries launched their own rebellions and independence movements.
