At the beginning Buganda was a small  territory with only four counties that include Kyaddondo , Busiro , Busujju , and Mawokota and some parts of Singo and Bulemezi and its neighbouring Kingdom Bunyoro had more territories which resulted into the fighting of the Kingdoms over their expansion until the collapse of the Bunyoro kingdom which led to the increase of the counties to 20,  but they were not full governed by the Buganda kingdom until the signing of the 1900  agreement.

Buganda people have an amicable character within them, respect for every one without discrimination in the religion, colour, tribe, or sex and also the good behaviors that they represent throughout their routine living which makes the kingdom popularly known and adorable.
