Factors which led to the defeat of the Nandi

The British were supported by some of the local communities e.g. Somali and Maasai soldiers so the Nandi warriors were out numbered
The British used superior weapons such repeater rifles while Nandi used spears and arrows.
The British tricked the Nandi and used treacherous method for example in October 1905. The commander of the British troops in Nandi Territory, captain Mcinertz Hageb arranged to have a meeting with the Nandi Orkoiyot, Koitalel arap Samoei when he had already arranged to have him killed. The Orkoiyot was killed in cold blood by the British and this demoralized and weakened the Nandi.

The British used scorched earth policy, they burned confiscated their livestock. The Nandi were deprived of the sources of their livelihood and this forced them into submission
Natural calamities the small pox epidemic which broke out in the 1890’s killed many of the Nandi and weakened their survivors.
Lack of support from the neighbouring Kenyan communities such as the Abaluhyia and Luo.
