the legacy of colonialism
Colonial rule left artificial borders, divided administrative structures, ethnic favoritism and uneven development that fueled regional/ethnic rivalries and weak national institutions — conditions that, together with the 1966 coups and anti‑Igbo massacres, made the 1967 Biafran secession and civil war possible. WWII, Cold War influence, and Asian independence movements were far less important causes.
