Résumé
In the mid 19th century, Uganda was visited by the Arabs. They were traders and Muslims. A few years later, they were followed by the Christian Missionary Society (CMS) from England in 1877 and the White Fathers from France in 1879. With three rival groups in the kingdom of Buganda, competition for converts started. It was through education that the Muslims, Protestants and Catholics tried to win adherents. Conversion first started in the royal palace where pages and chiefs were taught about the three religions. There, a new generation of believers arose; it was the readers. The latter, turned to be a danger to the monarchy because among them the future members of the political class had to be chosen. Besides, some converts stood against Kings Mutesa I and Mwanga for religious reasons. This led to the martyrdom of thousands of faithful converts. As a result, civil and religious wars broke out during the 1890s. In order to stop the bloodshed, Britain put Uganda under the control of the Imperial British East Africa Company (IBEAC). A few years later, the company had to leave and England openly declared a protectorate over Uganda.
