History!!!!!
Factors that led to the defeat of Biafra in the 1967- 1970 civil War.
1, MILITARY DISADVANTAGE:
A, Numerical and equipment superiority of Nigeria : the Nigerian federal government forces significantly outnumbered the Biafran army and possessed superior weaponry and logistics from the beginning of the War. They got help from nations like Britain, soviet Union etc.
B, blockade : Biafra was blocked from the air, land and sea and this led to their limited access to arms and ammunition, food , drugs and this weakened them
greatly .
C, Limited external support for Biafra : few countries like France, Ivory coast, Gabon, Tanzania and Zambia helped Biafra during the war which wasn't enough to withstand the rubourst support Nigeria got from powerful countries around the world.
2, INTERNAL FACTORS WITHIN BIAFRA:
A, Logistical and communication issues: poor logistics and communication within the Biafran forces hampered their effectiveness and this led to the poor use of their limited resources.
B, military offensives : the Nigerian forces launched sustained attacks that gradually reduced the Biafran territory. The capture of Enugu and owerri weakened Biafra.
3, INTERNATIONAL POLITICS:
A, Nigeria's recognition as a sovereign state: most international powers recognized the Nigerian federal government, which isolated Biafra diplomatically.
B, Economic interests : countries like Britain supported Nigeria because if their oil interest in Nigeria.
SUMMARY!!!!
Biafra lost as a result of Nigeria's superior military strength and resources, the effectiveness of Nigeria's blockade, limited international support for Biafra and internal challenges within Biafra led to the defeat of Biafra in the war.
