British East Africa Company concession bought out, establishing British East Africa.

The British East Africa Company's concession was acquired by the British government, resulting in the establishment of British East Africa. The area, known today as Kenya, was initially under the control of the British East Africa Company. The company struggled financially and had difficulties governing the region effectively. Concerns over the company's management and the desire for direct control led to the buyout. Following the acquisition, the British government took over the administration of British East Africa. This marked the beginning of formal British colonial rule in the region. The British government implemented policies that focused on exploiting the area's resources, establishing infrastructure, and exerting control over the local population. The establishment of British East Africa had far-reaching consequences for the region. It led to significant social, economic, and political changes as the British imposed their authority and introduced their systems of governance. The colonial legacy continues to impact Kenya to this day. #BritishEastAfricaCompany #BritishGovernment #BritishColonialism #Kenya #ColonialLegacy
