Uganda formally achieved its independence from Britain and became a member of the Commonwealth of Nations (CON) on October 9, 1962.

In 1875 the explorer Henry Stanley reached Uganda. At that time Uganda was divided into kingdoms. Shortly afterwards the first missionaries came to Uganda. The first Anglican missionaries arrived in Uganda in 1877. The first Roman Catholic missionaries arrived in 1879. Catholics, Protestants and Muslims all tried to convert the Ugandans.
However there was much hostility to the new religions. In 1885 James Hannington the first bishop of Eastern Equatorial Africa was murdered.
Nevertheless in the wake of missionaries came trade. In 1888 the British government gave the British East Africa Company control of Uganda. Meanwhile the European powers decided to divide up Africa among themselves. In 1890 Germany and Britain signed an agreement confirming that Uganda was in the British sphere of influence.
Gradually the company took control of Uganda and the local chiefs were reduced to being puppet rulers.
Finally in 1894 the British government made Uganda a protectorate (colony). However the traditional chiefs were kept as puppets.
Today Uganda is still mainly an agricultural country and its main export is coffee. Yet the economy of Uganda is growing steadily and there is every reason to be optimistic about its future. Today the population of Uganda is 39 million.
Answer:
German paper marks rapidly lost value between 1918 and 1923
Explanation:
Between the period 1918 ans 1923, the German economy crumbled rapidly and it had enormous inflation, resulting in large scale poverty in the country. This can be seen very well from the presented graph, as at 1918 one paper Mark was almost equivalent to one gold Mark. Then as the years pass by the paper Mark starts to lose on value, and by 1921 it is almost 1,000 paper Marks that were the equivalent of one golden Mark. From 1922 we have a sharp loss of value of the paper Mark continuing in the next 1923, with the end result being one billion paper Marks to be equivalent to one gold Mark.

The indigenous people of Plains in the Great Plains and Canadian Prairies of North America usually made their tent out of animal skins. The tent was cone-shaped and made up of skins of animals which was hanged on the wooden poles.
