Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Before colonial times, Maasailand stretched over a large area from northern Kenya to the steppes of northern Tanzania. The European colonial powers began conquering Africa to gain control of the African continent in the late 19th century. Maasailand was split in two in 1885.
