The US did not officially support the Mau Mau rebellion in Kenya. In fact, the US government was critical of the violence and brutality of the Mau Mau movement. However, some individual Americans did provide support to the Mau Mau rebels, including financial assistance and weapons.
The consequences of this support were limited, as the Mau Mau rebellion was ultimately suppressed by British colonial forces. The rebellion ended in 1956, with thousands of Mau Mau fighters killed and many more imprisoned or forced into labor camps.
The US government's stance on the Mau Mau rebellion did not have a significant impact on US-Kenya relations, as the US did not have a major presence in Kenya at the time. However, the rebellion did have lasting consequences for Kenya, as it led to increased tensions between different ethnic groups and laid the groundwork for the country's struggle for independence from British colonial rule.
