British East Africa

British East Africa refers to a region in East Africa that was colonized by Britain in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily comprising present-day Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. The British established control to exploit resources and expand trade routes. This colonization led to significant changes in local societies, economies, and governance. The impact of British rule is still evident today, influencing cultural, political, and economic aspects of the region. British East Africa was formally administered as separate colonies and protectorates before gaining independence in the mid-20th century, shaping the nations we know today.
