British colonization of Nigeria began in the late 19th century. Here's a brief overview:
- Initial Contact (19th century): British explorers, traders, and missionaries arrived in Nigeria, leading to increased British influence.
- Colonial Establishment (1914): Britain officially established the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria, amalgamating various regions under a single administration.
- Economic Exploitation: The British exploited Nigeria's natural resources, imposing their economic systems and extracting wealth.
- Cultural Impact: British culture, language, and education were imposed, often suppressing local traditions and customs.
- Struggle for Independence: Nigerians resisted colonial rule, leading to a nationalist movement that eventually achieved independence on October 1, 1960.
The legacy of British colonization continues to shape Nigeria's politics, economy, culture, and identity. 12 replies
