Background Of British Colonial Control Over Uganda 1894
Authors : Belmahdi Hadjer .
Abstract
Throughout the last quarter of the nineteenth century, the Ugandan kingdoms experienced intense conflict and terrible Imperialist competition between Germany, France, and Britain, due to the aspirations of European countries and their competition to obtain strategic areas that serve the interests of their governments and people at the expense of the local population. Therefore, this study aims to expose the true intentions of colonial Britain and other European imperialism countries, by identifying the most important factors that strengthened the European colonial tendency in Uganda, as well as the methods adopted by Britain, through which it was able to overcome its European competitors to declare its control over Uganda in 1894. The descriptive approach was adopted primarily, and the interpretive approach was also used. From the results of this study, we concluded that the presence of Christian missions, geographical discoveries, and Britain’s adoption of the abolition of the slave trade as a humanitarian principle in Uganda, was nothing but a prelude and consolidation of British colonialism in the region, and that the claims of European imperialism, and British in particular, to defend humanity and spread civilization in Africa, were nothing but lies promoted For her, and far from the truth. British colonial policy in Uganda also reinforced tribal ethnic divisions and entrenched the colonial masters' culture of racial superiority, thus keeping the local population at the bottom of the social pyramid and on the margins of colonial society.
