Kingdom of Buganda - Buganda Kingdom (English spelling) Buganda

Japanese: ブガンダ王国 - ブガンダおうこく（英語表記）Buganda

A powerful kingdom that flourished in East Africa in the 19th century. It was located on the northern shore of Lake Victoria in south-central Uganda. It was one of the small countries founded by Bantu-speaking peoples in the area of present-day Uganda. It was established by a Ganda king (Kabaka) with a strong centralized authority at the end of the 14th century, and in the 19th century, it developed into the largest and most powerful kingdom in the region, with Mengo near Kampala as its base. During the reign of Mutesa I (reigned 1856-84), foreign influences, including religious ones, began to spread, and after his death, domestic forces were divided into religious and religious factions. In 1894, it came under British influence, and in 1900, the Buganda Agreement officially made it a British protectorate. After Uganda's independence in 1962, it was granted considerable autonomy and a special status as a federal state. However, in 1966, a conflict arose between Mutesa II, who demanded political separation from Uganda, and Ugandan Prime Minister Milton Obote, and in 1967 Obote abolished the kingdom along with three other kingdoms. In 1993, Ronald Mutebi was crowned Kabaka on the condition that he would not become involved in politics, and the kingdom was restored. In 2001, the Tombs of the Kings of Buganda in Kasubi were registered as a World Heritage Site.

19世紀に東アフリカで栄えた強力な王国。ウガンダ中南部のビクトリア湖北岸にあった。バンツー語系諸族が現在のウガンダ一帯に創設した小国の一つで，14世紀末にガンダ族の王（カバカ kabaka）が強力な中央集権のもとに樹立し，19世紀にはカンパラ近郊のメンゴを根拠地に，地域で最大かつ最強の王国に発展した。ムテサ1世（在位 1856～84）の時代に宗教を含む外国からの影響が及び始め，同王の死後，国内勢力が政教派閥別に分裂するにいたった。1894年イギリスの勢力下に置かれ，1900年のブガンダ協定によって正式にイギリスの保護領になった。1962年のウガンダ独立後は相当の自治権が付与され，連邦構成国という特別な地位を得た。しかし，1966年にウガンダからの政治的分離を主張したムテサ2世とウガンダのミルトン・オボテ首相の間で対立が起こり，1967年にオボテによってその他 3王国とともに廃止された。1993年，政治に関与しないことを条件にロナルド・ムテビがカバカに即位，王国は復活した。2001年，カスビのブガンダ王国歴代国王の墓が世界遺産の文化遺産に登録された。
