Now, the threat of East Africa in the Indian Ocean has exceeded the critical point that the United Kingdom can bear. If East Africa joins, or even just supports the Allies, it could shake the foundations of British rule. After all, among the three major British colonies currently, namely India, Canada, and Australia, both India and Australia are threatened by East Africa.
Therefore, the British government has always maintained a cautious and concerned attitude towards this Damocles' sword hanging over its head in East Africa.
This is the fundamental reason why Britain accepted East Africa's mediation. After all, the reason why Britain has not been greatly affected by the war domestically is because it relies on the manpower, materials, and financial resources from India for support.
