Poster from a unkniown country. The Nigerian Civil War (6 July 1967-15 January 1970) also known as the Nigerian-Biafran War or the Biafran War, was a civil war fought between the government of Nigeria and the Republic of Biafra, a secessionist state which had declared its independence from Nigeria in 1967.
Within a year, the Federal Government troops surrounded Biafra, captured coastal oil facilities and the city of Port Harcourt. A blockade was imposed which led to mass starvation. During the two and half years of the war, there were about 100,000 overall military casualties, while between 500,000 and 2 million Biafran civilians died of starvation.
Founded in Prague in 1946, the International Union of Students (IUS) is an umbrella organization for over 150 student groups in 112 different countries. Originally created to defend students' rights and improve welfare and international standards of education, the group became more politically oriented when the Soviet Union invaded Czechoslovakia in 1948. These bold, powerful propagandistic poster present a broad international collage of causes, events and Congresses that the organization helped arrange or participated in.
