AKA 'Big Daddy', AKA 'Butcher  of Africa',      AKA 'Conqueror of the British Empire', AKA 'Lord of All the Beasts  of      the Earth and Fishes of the Sea'.    Country:      Uganda.    Kill tally:      100,000-500,000 (most sources say 300,000).    Background:      The British Government declares Uganda its protectorate in 1894.  Surrounding      kingdoms are incorporated, with the borders becoming fixed in 1914.  Independence      is achieved peacefully on 9 October 1962 but rising tensions between  the      country's different ethnic groups see Prime Minister Milton Obote  impose      a new republican constitution establishing himself as president and  abolishing      all the country's kingdoms. Ethnic tensions continue to rise. Idi  Amin      seizes power in a coup in January 1971. </blockquote>
