==Colonial Nigeria==
   −
Nigeria was the most populous [[colony]] in [[Africa]] and one of the most prosperous, and it won its independence from [[Grat Britain]] in 1960.  But its ethnic diversity led to [[civil war]] between the [[Muslim]] [[Hausa-Fulani]] and the [[Christian]] (and [[animist) [[Ibo]] and [[Yoruba]].  There was tension even within the Christian groups, as Igbo preferred a [[democracy|democratic]] society while the Yoruba preferred a [[monarchy]].
