Simple WI, the Nigerian federal authorities collapse either because Lagos is captured in the initial rush to war or an internal fight gets out of hand. What is the effect nationally, internationally, and internally? Would an early victory by the igbo mean that they are more tolerant of other minority groups or would they keep their indifferent to discriminatory practices? Would the remainder of Nigeria fall apart or would they pull together? How would the relative position of France, Britain, and the USSR in Africa and beyond be effected? Would the loss have tarnished the soviet brand, especially as a Briafa win would have firmly entrenched Nigeria as a genocidal power in the international and public consciousness.
