Uganda-Tanzania War - 1979 (Uganda-Tanzania War).

or
Uganda invaded the Kagera Salient in North Tanzania after the Tanzanians had enchroached into Ugandan territoy whilst chasing rebel units that had carried out an attack in Tanzania.
The Tanzanians then mobilised an army increasing its numbers from 40k to 100k and then pushed North. The Tanzanians actually drove all the way to Kampala and were only seriously checked once at Lukaya on 10 March which was a swampy river crossing. However, the Tanzanians recovered and pushed on further with little resistance into Kampala.
The most significant feature of this battle is that it resulted in Idi Amin fleeing the country and democracy being restored to Uganda.
