Kabaka Muteesa II was the 35th Kabaka (king) of Buganda, a kingdom in present-day Uganda. He was born on November 19, 1924, and reigned from 1939 until his death in 1969. Muteesa II was known for his efforts to modernize Buganda and promote education and healthcare in the region.
During his reign, Muteesa II faced challenges from the British colonial authorities, who sought to exert control over Buganda. He was eventually forced into exile in 1953 but was able to return in 1955 after negotiations with the British government.
Muteesa II played a key role in Uganda's independence movement and became the first president of Uganda when the country gained independence from Britain in 1962. However, his relationship with Prime Minister Milton Obote deteriorated, leading to a power struggle that culminated in Muteesa II being deposed and fleeing into exile in 1966.
Kabaka Muteesa II died in exile in London on November 21, 1969. He is remembered as a charismatic leader who fought for the rights and autonomy of Buganda and played a significant role in Uganda's struggle for independence.
