One of the perennial temptations for historians, is a desire to impose patterns on purely random events. As evidence of this view he would point out that Kenya gained independence in the early 1960s. The trigger that made independence possible lay in events beyond our borders.

And it all happened exactly on schedule – 30 years after the last major transformational change, which was independence.
