The document discusses the Mau Mau uprising in Kenya in the 1950s. The Mau Mau were Kikuyu people who rebelled against British colonial rule and the loss of their land. They used guerilla tactics and violence against British settlers and loyalist Africans. The uprising led to years of conflict and turmoil as the British fought to suppress the Mau Mau. Thousands of Mau Mau supporters were imprisoned and tortured in detention camps. The rebellion ultimately ended in defeat for the Mau Mau, but helped hasten Kenyan independence from British rule.
