Cumulation of several factors chief among them was the joint contribution of Britain , soviet union , Egypt ,Sudan and cameroon to supply military hardware, logistics support , supply of mercenaries, blockade of the borders by Niger delta and cameroon .

That igbos lasted more than 30 Months fighting a side backed by Soviet union and Britain is not only a military miracle but combat brilliance .
Sometimes i truly wish all the foreign countries can truly hands off the Nigerian Internal issues and let the better side win and subjugate the other but Alas it is the federal Government who has been foooling around asking countries that did not recognize IPOB as a terrorist organisation that would go around begging the same country for support against Biafra .

Biafra in summary did not loose to the fighting skills of Nigerian soldiers or to any federal might but to the ammunitions supplied by Britain , the MIGs from soviet union t, Pilots from Egypt . dont mind the retired foools going around and boasting of non founded exploits of how the subjugated biafra

pretty princess, they are lots of books about the war you can finish in an hour or two that would give u a detailed unbiased account of the war rather than reading tens of biased comments by 15 year olds mainly product of a failed school curricula system that excludes history as a subject. The broken bridge, Sunset in Biafra, foreign journal publications and wiki are good start points

[/s]They have started victim cry again. They will never mentioned those that supported and stood by them. I have never seen such an ungrateful tribe in my life. I am sure the nations that supported them are regretting for supporting ingrates. They will never mention how Spain, France, Israel, Portugal etc supported them. To the question. Only one great man idea defeated them, the man Gabe the idea when he saw that they are trying to enter his territory. He did not carry gun or leave his room. He defeated them with just idea from his brain.

These are secondary reasons


The real reason, is the lack of knowledge on ammunition production


The Biafrans couldn't produce bullets and shells despite their engineering feat


If they were able to produce bullets and shells just as the Israelis were able to, during the Arab invasion of 1948, the war would have ended differently.


So my dear, if the Biafrans were able to produce their ammunitions especially bullets & shells and then couple it with their locally made grenades and missiles, the support of the British and Soviet won't have made much difference for Nigerians.
