Abstract

This paper discuss the history of Ujiji town prior to the coming of the foreigners like the Arabs and the Europeans focusing on the forces that led its development to the extent of being the Commercial Hub during the 19th century. The main objective in this paper is to show the main factors that contributed to the development of Ujiji from 1831-1890 such that it was regarded the Commercial Hub. This paper applied the theory of historical materialism which centers on the material production as the main forces for the development of human society. The World system Theory was also used to inform the historical background that happened within the capitalist economy which then integrated Ujiji into capitalist economy. Qualitative approach was used where data both primary and secondary were collected through documentary review like books, journals, thesis, dissertations as well as archival sources from Tanzania National Archives (TNA). The main argument in this paper is that the development of Ujiji to the extent of being the Commercial Hub was not only caused by the external forced but also the internal forced within Ujiji itself.
