Kenya African Union
World War II was a major war between the Axis and Allies. The war experienced thousands of deaths and led to many disagreements between the participating nations. In the colonies of the European nations that fought the war, in Asia and Africa, the effect was a political awakening in which revolts and independence movements began. This is the environment in which organisations such as the Kenya African Union were born. The core of KAU's leadership eventually founded the Kenya African National Union under whom Kenya gained independence.
