• The British started their colonization with Nigeria in the early 1600’s. • They established posts and forts in the Nigerian coast for trading. • By 1672 the British established the Royal African Company. • By the French Revolution the British became a dominant commercial power in West Africa. • The British started exporting slaves in the early 1800’s to all over the Atlantic. • They traded slaves for goods, like oil, manufacturing goods, and palm oil. • When Lagos became a crown colony, they made it so the French wouldn’t take over Lagos and their trading coast. • So they established it in the British name. • By 1906 Nigeria was now a British colony.
