Introduction to Ugandan Asian Migration under Idi Amin

Following Idi Amin's rise to power in 1971, a mass migration of Ugandan Asians occurred. Amin accused Asians of economic dominance and expelled them, leading to significant social and economic consequences for Uganda.

The migration was driven by a complex mix of political, social, economic, and religious factors, each influencing the decision of many Asians to leave Uganda.

Understanding these factors helps explain the importance of this migration in post-1945 history and its lasting impacts.
