This paper explores the historical resistance to Western colonialism and its roots in cultural identity and autonomy. It examines key factors that fueled animosity toward the Igbo, including economic exploitation and cultural dislocation imposed by colonial powers. The analysis highlights how these dynamics contributed to a legacy of mistrust and conflict, shaping perceptions of the Igbo in both historical and contemporary contexts. Through a critical examination of primary and secondary sources, the study aims to shed light on the complexities of Igbo resistance and its enduring impact on their social and political landscape.
