The igbo women's war

Explanation:

The Women's War or Aba Women's Riots was an insurrection in British Nigeria that occurred in November 1929. The revolt began when thousands of women from the Igbo district of Bende, Umuahia and other places in eastern Nigeria traveled to the town of Oloko to protest against the Chief of Warrant, whom they accused of restricting the role of women in government. The Aba Women's Riots of 1929, as it was named in British colonial records, is considered a strategically executed and organized anti-colonial revolt by women to correct social, political, and economic issues. The protest included women from six ethnic groups (Ibibio, Andoni, Orgoni, Bonny, Opobo, and Igbo). It was organized and led by the rural women of the Owerri and Calabar provinces. During the events, many war chiefs were forced to resign and sixteen native courts were attacked, most of which were destroyed.

The answer would be "the igbo women's war".
