The War Of Biafra (1967- 1970): The Colonial Legacy
Authors : Taleb Wafaa .
Abstract
A civil war results as the last resort of politics, and this was the process which occurred in Nigeria within a few years of its attaining independence in 1960. The causes of the Biafran war can be traced back to the colonial period of Nigeria's history. The colonial administration divided Nigeria, and so divided the 250 ethnic groups that composed Nigeria, and created a country composed of three distinct regions: The Northern region, the Western region and Eastern region. This paper is concerned with the Nigerian civil war of 1967-1970, called the war of Biafra. It seeks to identify the origins of that war that had one of its roots in the colonial era.
