Uganda under the arrangements of the Treaty of Heligoland 1890

Abstract

This study stands to clarify of the backgrounds of Britain’s acquisition of Uganda, under the Treaty of Heligoland with Germany in 1890, which the imperialists described as one of the flexible and peaceful policies, in order to avoid the occurrence of tensions and crises in the region.

Through this article, we try to reveal and show the reality of the imperialist goals that Britain and Germany had in the East African region, as the agreement of two countries on a set of points without consulting the owners of the land and the right is a blatant attack on the freedom of the indigenous people, and one of the most dangerous manifestations of European colonial policy.
