Uganda Protectorate
Uganda Protectorate was a colony in Great Lakes (Central and Southern Africa) that lasted from 1894 to 1962 CE, about 68 years. Its people spoke Germanic languages (Gothic, Frankish, English, German, Dutch, Norse).
Britain declared a protectorate over Buganda in 1894 and extended it to Bunyoro, Toro, Ankole and the north. Ganda chiefs served as colonial agents, and cotton and coffee became the main cash crops.
