During the Nigerian Civil War (1967–1970), Britain was the first world power to come to Nigeria's aid. They supported the Federal Government's military efforts. This support was largely driven by political, economic, and strategic interests, including the desire to maintain relations with Nigeria as a former colony and the geopolitical situation during the Cold War.
