East Africa (Unitatis)

The East African Federation (Swahili: Shirikisho la Afrika Mashariki) is a nation located on the African continent. It borders Ethiopia and Egypt to the north, the Equatorial African Republic and the Congo to the west, the Pacific Ocean to the east and South Africa and Mozambique to the south.

Some of what is now the East African Federation was originally colonized by Britain during the Scramble for Africa. The rest came under British sovereignty after Germany's defeat in World War I. In 1961, the colonies in the region, Uganda, Tanganyika, Kenya, and Zanzibar formed the East African Federation, which became independent from Britain.
