Answer 1

Answer:

The Maasais lost their grazing lands due to the following reasons: ... Large areas of grazing land were also turned into game reserves where pastoralists were not allowed to enter. This lack of good grazing lands and a two-year drought led to losses of almost 60% cattle belonging to the Maasai tribes.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Maasais lost their grazing lands due to the following reasons:

1 Large areas of grazing land were also turned into game reserves where pastoralists were not allowed to enter.

2 This lack of good grazing lands and a two-year drought led to losses of almost 60% cattle belonging to the Maasai tribes.

3 The best pastures were reserved for white settlements, and the Maasai tribes were given arid zone with uncertain rainfall and poor pastures into a small area in South Kenya and North Tanzania.

4 In 1885, Maasai land was cut in half by an international boundary between British Kenya and German Tanganyika.

Thus, with the expansion of British colonization, the Maasai community lost their grazing lands.
