“The sun never sets on the British Empire,” Britain often boasted. In 1914 approximately 85% of the Earth's surface was colonized by Europe. Between 1884 and 1885 the Berlin Conference for the partition of the African continent took place (Basic essay). Europeans saw great potential in Africa and thought the continent was empty, even though it wasn't. It was more or less “intact” and they thought they could do whatever they wanted (Doc.1). Britain's colonization of Kenya influenced the country's religion, culture, education and government. European colonization in Kenya had a great impact on the religion and culture of Africa. Africa had over 100 ethnic groups where colonization operations were carried out. (Doc.2). Europeans believed that Africans did not have a developed religion and believed in bizarre things such as witchcraft (Doc.6). But, in Abaluyia's Creation Story, he told how the world and man were created, which was really similar to the European religion of Christianity where Adam and Eve were created similarly. This proved that they actually had an organized religion (Doc.7). In 1962, 80% of Kenyans believed in indigenous beliefs, but in 2002 only 26% of the population believed in indigenous beliefs. As Europeans believed in Christianity, Protestant beliefs went from 7% in 1962 to 38% in 2002, and Catholic beliefs went from 3.5% to 28% (Doc. 8). Europeans felt they had given Africans the Christian religion, a “superior” form of government, and a more developed civilization (Background Essay). Colonization in Kenya also changed their culture. Kenyans have changed their clothes. Kenyan leaders, including the first president Jomo Kenyatta, wore clothes very similar to those of Europeans (Doc.5). This made people feel that their clothes were not in fashion and they had to follow the path of the Europeans. This reduced the number of people who wore their normal clothes and the number of people who followed their own culture. Kenya's religion and culture were truly transformed thanks to European colonization. European colonization had an impact on the governance of Africa. One day, a white man came to the African council and told them that they now had a king. The king of Europe was now their king and Africa was his land. In the city of Nairobi a new council was created, in which they acted for their king and governed Africa. The council made laws that Africans should follow (Doc.
