The 1964 Buganda crisis was a political conflict in Uganda that occurred between the central government of Uganda and the Kingdom of Buganda, one of the country's traditional kingdoms. The crisis was sparked by disagreements over the status and powers of the Buganda kingdom within the newly independent Ugandan state.
The crisis reached a boiling point in May 1966 when Prime Minister Milton Obote ordered the military to storm the Kabaka's palace in Kampala, the capital of Buganda, resulting in the overthrow of the Kabaka (king) of Buganda, Sir Edward Mutesa II. This action led to widespread violence and unrest in Buganda and other parts of Uganda.
The crisis ultimately resulted in the abolition of the traditional kingdoms in Uganda, including Buganda, and the centralization of power in the hands of the central government. The events of the 1964 Buganda crisis had a lasting impact on the political landscape of Uganda and contributed to the country's history of political instability and ethnic tensions.
