Uganda Protectorate

The Uganda Protectorate was a British colonial territory established in 1894, encompassing present-day Uganda. Britain controlled its government and military, influencing local leadership and policies. The protectorate aimed to manage regional stability, exploit resources, and expand British influence in East Africa. Its administration combined colonial authorities with traditional local leaders, leading to societal changes and resistance movements. The protectorate existed until Uganda gained independence in 1962, transitioning from colonial rule to self-governance.
