Geostrategic location refers to the reason why a place is important because of its geography. Kenya offered some important benefits for Great Britain. First, it should be stated that Britain needed more resources and land because of the limitations of its own land. Kenya's highlands were perfect for agriculture. People could move there and expect to be successful in farming. Kenya was also located near the source of the Nile River at Lake Victoria. England already controlled most of the Nile River and controlling the source of the river as well was important for continued control of the Suez Canal. Acquiring Kenya also gave Britain significantly more coastline and more access to the Indian Ocean and their colonies in Asia. Kenya also offered mineral resources to add to Great Britain's wealth. Additionally, the acquisition of more land through colonization was seen as a sign of being more powerful than your rivals in Europe in the 19th Century.
