HISTORIX Vintage 1988 Kenya Map Print - and 18 similar items

After gaining independence from British colonial rule in 1963, Kenya’s multi-ethnic state was rapidly expanding and establishing an independent economy. Kenya boasts the largest and most prosperous economy in eastern and central Africa, and the proximity to the Indian Ocean as well as inland ports on Lake Victoria allow the nation to thrive with a robust exportation and tourism industry. Agricultural exports make up the bulk, with thriving coffee and tea cultivation. The Kenyan coast has been a thriving market place for centuries with early European explorers as well as Chinese and Indian traders. The Portuguese were the first Europeans to establish trade on the Kenyan coast as early as the 1500s. While the coast has been an integral part of the country’s economy, its border on Lake Victoria is of equal significance. The ninth-largest lake in the world, Victoria, is relied on for both interstate transportation as well as local fishing industries. Kenya’s economy was thriving in the 1980s, and newly adopted trade policies were looking outward to expand exportation and focus on creating jobs while developing more reliable infrastructure. These policies focused on reducing inequality and poverty for the post-colonial economy. This decade also found the nation in a state of political transition as the rise of a multi-party government gained momentum. Kenya found itself in a period of significant change and development in the 1980s and 1990s and became one of Africa’s most prominent nations with bustling ports and cities alike.
