  • The Nigerian Civil War, also known as the Biafran War, occurred from 1967 to 1970. It was a conflict between the Nigerian government, dominated by the Hausa-Fulani ethnic group in the north, and the breakaway Republic of Biafra, largely consisting of the Igbo ethnic group in the southeast. The war was sparked by political, ethnic, and economic tensions, including perceptions of marginalization and discrimination against the Igbo people. The conflict resulted in significant loss of life, displacement of millions, and widespread humanitarian crises, including famine. Ultimately, Biafra surrendered in 1970, leading to the reunification of Nigeria. The war left deep scars on Nigerian society and continues to influence politics and ethnic relations in the country.
