European penetration of the interior had begun decades earlier with the explorations of two German missionaries, Johannes Rebmann and Johann Ludwig Krapf, in 1847–49, and by the English explorer John Hanning Speke at Lake Victoria in 1858 (“Kenya – History”).The first Europeans to invade Kenya were German agents of the Church Missionary Society. At first, in the 1870s and 1880s, the British were not interested in Kenya, only other African countries. It wasn’t until the wake of the Berlin Conference in 1885 that they gained interest in the country. In 1886, the Germans made agreements with Britain that created a boundary between German territories in Tanganyika (part of present day Tanzania) and British territories in Kenya. The Imperial British East Africa Company was chartered in 1888 to administer Kenya, but the company soon found itself losing large amounts of money through its vain attempts to extend control over the interior (“History, British Colonization”).
