Uganda was home to various kingdoms, including Buganda, before becoming a British protectorate in the late 19th century. It gained independence in 1962 but faced instability under leaders such as Idi Amin and Milton Obote. Since the 1980s, Uganda has made progress in economic growth and development, though challenges such as political tensions and regional conflicts remain.
