Great Britain succeeded in forcing the submission of Bunyoro after the 1890's war of conquest.
In their wake was left an utterly dejected people who struggled more than their regional counterparts to adapt to the new status quo.
Their undeserved bad reputation plus their resistance of almost a decade, was reason enough to punish them for a war that had cost the invaders a lot of money.
This is an account of the Bunyoro peoples lives during the colonial period from 1900-1962.
