I hope this helps, I got this correct:)

Explanation:

The events in the book Things Fall aparts takes place in the end of the nineteenth Century and in the early part of the twentieth century. Even though the British did not occupy most of Nigeria officially until 1904. The       British was a key buyer of african slaves in the seventeenth and eighteenth century. In the year of 1807 the british outlaws the slave trade within their empire. During this time they didn't control Nigeria, there was constant wars and it increase the supply of slaves. In the year of 1861, with the expanding of the slave trade, the British decided to occupy Lagos which is a major slave trading post. They eventually go the rest of Nigeria. They were prompted to have Nigeria for more than the slave trade. They were in competition with the rest if the Europeans for the control of natural wealth of West Africa. They got Nigeria as their territory. In the early 20th century the British defined the collection of divers ethnic groups as one country, Nigeria, declared it a colony of the British empire.The British moved into Nigeria with a combination of government control, religious mission, and economic incentive. In the north, the British ruled indirectly, with the support of the local Muslim leaders, who collected taxes and administered a government on behalf of the British. In the south, however, where communities (such as Umuofia in Things Fall Apart) were often not under one central authority, the British had to intervene directly and forcefully to control the local population.The Ahiara incident led to the Bende-Onitsha Hinterland Expedition, a force created to eliminate Igbo opposition. The British destroyed the powerful Awka Oracle and killed all opposing Igbo groups. In 1912, the British instituted the Collective Punishment Ordinance, which stipulated punishment against an entire village or community for crimes committed by one or more persons against the white colonialists.The British operated an efficient administrative system and introduced a form of British culture to Nigeria. They also sent many capable young Nigerians to England for education. The experience of Nigerians who lived overseas in the years preceding, during, and after World War II gave rise to a class of young, educated nationalists who agitated for independence from Great Britain. The British agreed to the Nigerians' demands and, in 1947, instituted a ten-year economic plan toward independence. Nigeria became an independent country on October 1, 1960, and became a republic in 1963.With the British long gone from Nigeria, corruption and a lack of leadership continued to hamper Nigeria's quest for true democracy. A series of military coups and dictatorships in the 1970s, 1980s, and early 1990s replaced the fragile democracy that Nigeria enjoyed in the early 1960s. In 1993, Nigeria held a democratic presidential election, which was followed by yet another bloodless coup. And so continues the political pattern for the troubled, violent, most populous country in Africa.
