Geography
Uganda, twice the size of Pennsylvania, is in East
Africa. It is bordered on the west by Congo, on the north by the Sudan, on the
east by Kenya, and on the south by Tanzania and Rwanda. The country, which lies
across the equator, is divided into three main areas—swampy lowlands, a fertile
plateau with wooded hills, and a desert region. Lake Victoria forms part of the
southern border.

History
About 500 B.C. Bantu-speaking peoples
migrated to the area now called Uganda. By the 14th century, three kingdoms
dominated, Buganda (meaning "state of the Gandas"), Bunyoro, and
Ankole. Uganda was first explored by Europeans as well as Arab traders in 1844.
An Anglo-German agreement of 1890 declared it to be in the British sphere of
influence in Africa, and the Imperial British East Africa Company was chartered
to develop the area. The company did not prosper financially, and in 1894 a
British protectorate was proclaimed. Few Europeans permanently settled in
Uganda, but it attracted many Indians, who became important players in Ugandan
commerce.

Uganda became independent on Oct. 9, 1962. Sir Edward
Mutesa, the king of Buganda (Mutesa II), was elected the first president, and
Milton Obote the first prime minister, of the newly independent country. With
the help of a young army officer, Col. Idi Amin, Prime Minister Obote seized
control of the government from President Mutesa four years later.
