Below are some of the methods which were used to take over East Africa. Colonialists used the method of divide and rule for example by introducing different religions such as Catholics, Protestants and Moslems. This created disunity against the enemy. The European colonialists also used the European settlers for example in the Kenya highlands. These settlers introduced agriculture, which generated funds for their colonial governments. They built communication lines for example the Uganda Railway which facilitated the movement of the British troops from the coast to the interior. These were later used to put down rebellions. They used bribery to make the chiefs and kings of East Africa convinced toward their colonial policies. The colonialists used the army of occupation to establish their rule in East Africa. This was effective in the areas of Bunyoro where the British used the army of occupation. In other words they used military confrontations for example Kabalega of Bunyoro was attacked by the army and the Germans attacked the Hehe.
