The Seventh Zionist Congress votes for the Uganda proposal, primarily due to greater advertising and more patronage by Theodore Herzl. This was won by a Narrow majority.
London, 1906
Henry Campbell-Bannerman gave the plan an OK. Really, this could only benefit the empire, a Protectorate of Neu Ishral that was proposed. The economic power of Uganda will be expanded exponentially. Really, there is no reason to turn this down.
Entebbe, 1908
"5000 jewish settlers have arrived already. Most have been speaking Yiddish. However, a high influence of Russian jews in expected due to the pogram issue there..." The minister of return was writing the information on the settlement's progress.
What is happening Elsewhere?
Meanwhile ideal farm crops were being studied for the homesteads planned in the fertile regions of Uganda... Maize, beans groundnuts, soybeans, sesame seeds, and fruit products were stables. The latest in mechanization research would be used for these farms. 50 such farms would be created. However, there was a catch; only the wealthiest immigrants could afford such homesteads. Most would create modest farms where cash crops such as tobacco, cotton, sugar, tea coffee. Meanwhile on the larger homesteads, blacks were hired as tenants to work on the farm... They would later be known "Kufirs."for a tenant worker. Conversion would occur sometimes, especially due to the fact in Britains colonies, Christianity was not fully developed, but equality was a long work away.
Kampala, 1910
Russian and Ukrainian Jews settled in Kampala, mostly. They numbered about 8000 in the city by 1910. Provided Martini Henry rifles to use in their local militias, they banded together and fended off local attacks. Meanwhile, troublesome "kufirs" were sent to work in the smaller farms.2
1. Stop gap degortory term before i find a more relevant one.
2. No, the work isn't slave labour, it is a punishment, but it is 1910, so racial equality is got a long way to go. They are paid in part of their crops, which they can sell. Rights for these people are better than most colonies.
