The British government took complete control over Uganda in 1893. The new colony was called the Uganda Protectorate and was a conglomerate of different tribal regions. The British Empire became allied the Bagandans which were the largest ethnic group in the Uganda Protectorate. The British colony quickly became a massive producer of cotton. The British allowed the Bagandan's the most power over the country and they became the biggest benefactors of the British colonization out of any the ethnicities.
By the late 1940's many Ugandans wanted more freedoms from Great Britain. In the London conference of 1960 England supported the idea of Ugandan independence and allowed Uganda to have an election of its own leaders. After Great Britain left the country, there was a struggle between the three tribes for power. The Bugandan tribe was favored by the British and ended up being superior over the Sudanic and Nilotic tribes.
