Explanation

The Biafran War, also known as the Nigerian Civil War, lasted from 1967 to 1970. This conflict was fought between the government of Nigeria and the secessionist state of Biafra, primarily populated by the Igbo ethnic group. The war resulted from ethnic tensions, economic disparities, and political instability following Nigeria’s independence. It ended with the defeat of Biafra, but its effects left a lasting impact on Nigerian society, especially in terms of ethnic relations, political structure, and regional development.
