- British East Africa was a British protectorate in the eastern part of Africa, covering the territory of the modern day nation of Kenya, on the Indian Ocean. British commercial interests had started trade and settlements in the area in the late 1800s. The British government took control of the lands in 1895 when the Imperial British East Africa Company began to fail, and encouraged white settlement in the Highlands. In 1905, Britain added the lands of Uganda to the protectorate. In 1920, the protectorate was turned into the colony of Kenya, which became independent in 1963.
