Battle of Sokoto
Battle between the British Empire and the Sokoto Caliphate in 1903
The Battle of Sokoto was fought on 15 March 1903 between the British Northern Nigeria Protectorate and the Sokoto Caliphate in present-day northern Nigeria. In the face of British aggression, the Caliphate's leaders were divided over whether to respond with force, pursue martyrdom, or make a mass hijra to avoid Christian rule.
