In 1894 Great Britain declared the region its protectorate. In alliance with the Kingdom of Buganda, that had during "The Scramble for Africa" made several unsuccessful attempts to retain its own independence against British imperialism, following these attempts Buganda became the centre of the Uganda Protectorate in 1894.King Omukama Kabalega of Unyoro resisted the efforts of Great Britain, aiming to take control of the kingdom.
