Civilopedia entry[]
Baganda military strikes, or blutabaalo, were rapid, devastating affairs. A fleet of two hundred or more war canoes and a hundred thousand infantry could descend on a lakeside town and plunder it in minutes. Through these raids, Buganda expanded its power; it was an expansion its rulers felt was necessary. By the late 19th century, Muslim trading circuits were making inroads into East Africa, and European colonialism was also making its first forays into the area.
Baganda military were lightly armed with spears; they focused on speed and surprise. Guns arrived in the latter part of the 19th century as connections with Turkish-controlled Sudan and Swahili traders increased.
