The conflict is between Nigeria and the Republic of Biafra, a secessionist state that declared its independence from Nigeria. The Nigerian people had more power than the Republice of Biafra especially due to having more forces. The conflict is mainly ethnic because the Igbos in Biafra felt they could no longer coexist with the interests of Muslim Hausa-Fulanis in Nigeria.]]> 2023-05-04 16:32:01 UTC https://padlet.com/clairebur3086/iw8gp75jldjcvvph/wish/2578544335 kadengaf5450 https://padlet.com/clairebur3086/iw8gp75jldjcvvph/wish/2578546527 This propaganda visual shows the devastation Biafra was going through during the civil war.

Also, the Nigerian Civil War was one of the first wars in human history to be shown to a global audience. We can infer this was a civil war because the conflict resulted from political, economic, ethnic, cultural, and religious tensions.]]> 2023-05-04 16:48:12 UTC https://padlet.com/clairebur3086/iw8gp75jldjcvvph/wish/2578565399
