【A border between Kenya and Tanzania curves a little.why？】

A border between Kenya and Tanzania is almost a straight line,but a place around Mt.Kilimanjaro curves a little.It's unnatural.🌋

When Africa was partitioned 分割 at conference of Berlin in 1885,the border between Kenya which belongs to England and Tanzania which belongs to Germany used to be a straight line.😃

Mt.Kilimanjaro is a territory of Tanzania at present,but it used to be a territory of Kenya which belonged to England.🌋

However when a German succeeded in reaching the summit of Kilimanjaro for the first time,a German emperor in those days feel like getting the mountain suddenly.🌋

He asked his grandmother who was English Queen,Victoria to hand over the mountain for him.She accepted his desire,so its border was changed.👸

After Tanzania and Kenya were independent,the border remains as it is.😃

By the way,I'm wondering if autumn has come.Then winter will come soon,and this year comes to an end,so I grow older…😩
