The kingdom of Buganda, which was founded in the late 14th century, rose in power because of a succession of able and aggressive kabakas (rulers) who expanded the kingdom. By the 19th century Buganda had become the largest and most powerful kingdom in the region. In 1894 Buganda became part of the British sphere of influence, and in 1900 the Buganda Agreement made it formally a British protectorate. The Ganda people subsequently played a major role in assisting the British administration in East Africa.
