A África Oriental Britânica
<!-- The origins of British East Africa lay in the imperial rivalries of the 1880s that led to the European PARTITION of Africa and the associated COLONIAL CONQUEST. In 1887 British private citizens formed an association that, the following year, was chartered by the British government as the Imperial British East Africa Company. Its purpose was to limit the expansion of GERMAN EAST AFRICA and to estab-lish British claims to part of the region. An 1890 British-German treaty established both a British PROTECTORATE over Zanzibar and the British East Africa Company’s claims to Kenya. In 1894 a British treaty with the king-dom of BUGANDA established the Uganda Protectorate.In 1895 the British East Africa Company relinquishedits territories to Britain, which then established the EastAfrican Protectorate. In June 1919, British East Africa be-came complete, when, under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, which ended World War I (1914–18), theLeague of Nations made German East Africa into the British MANDATE of Tanganyika. The following year theEast African Protectorate became Kenya Colony.After World War II(1939–45) Britain coordinated the administration of its East African colonies more fully than ithad during the interwar years. It established the East African High Commission, in 1948, which took over con-trol of railways and harbors, posts and telecommunications, customs, research, and the income tax for all but Zanzibar. Upon gaining independence, between 1962 and 1963, the countries of East Africa continued this coordination underthe East African Commons Services Organization. -->
