Kenya virtually came under British rule in 1895 when the East African Protectorate was formed, but was officially declared a colony in 1920. The Mau Mau Uprising between 1952 and 1956 was the first serious fight against oppression. However, the leader of the armed movement, Jomo Kenyatta, was arrested immediately; in 1956, the other leader, Dedan Kimathi, was captured. The movement died out soon after. In 1957, election to the Legislative Council was held for the first time. The members of the council continually demanded that Kenyatta be released. Eventually, Kenya became independent on 12th December, 1963 and Jomo Kenyatta became the first Prime Minister. In 1966, the single opposition party, left-leaning KPU was banned and its leader arrested; tragically, the aconstitution was amended, Kenyatta became President and single-party rule was established.
The decolonisation of Africa took place in the mid-to-late 1950s to 1975, with sudden and radical regime changes on the continent as colonial governments made the transition to independent states; this was often quite unorganized and marred with violence and political turmoil. There was widespread unrest, with organized revolts in both northern and sub-Saharan colonies including the Algerian War in French Algeria, the Angolan War of Independence in Portuguese Angola, the Congo Crisis in the Belgian Congo, and the Mau Mau Uprising in British Kenya
