Abu Dhabi War (1 set 1914 ano – 1 dez 1914 ano)

Descrição:

The Adubi War was an uprising that occurred in June and July 1918 in the British Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria, because of taxation introduced by the colonial government. On 7 June, the British arrested 70 Egba chiefs and issued an ultimatum that resisters should lay down their arms, pay the taxes and obey the local leaders. bout 600 people died, including the British agent and the Oba Osile, the African leader of the north-eastern Egba district. The incident led to the abrogation of Abeokutan independence in 1918 and the introduction of forced labor in the region; imposition of the direct taxes was postponed until 1925.
