British intervention in the region of present …
Years: 1876 - 1887
British intervention in the region of present Nigeria becomes more insistent in the 1870s and 1880s as a result of pressure from missionaries and liberated slaves returning from Sierra Leone.
There is also the necessity of protecting commerce disrupted by the fighting.
The method of dealing with these problems is to dictate treaties that inevitably lead to further annexations.
