The Zazzau, also known as the Zaria Emirate, is a traditional state with headquarters in the city of Zaria, Kaduna State, Nigeria. The current emir of Zazzau is Alhaji Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli who succeeded the former emir, late Alhaji Shehu Idris.[1]
The most important source for the early history of Zazzau is a chronicle composed in the early 20th century from oral tradition. It tells the traditional story of the foundation of the Hausa kingdoms by the culture hero Bayajidda, and gives a list of rulers along with the length of their reigns. According to this chronology, the original Hausa or Habe kingdom is said to date from the 11th century, founded by King Gunguma.[2] This source also makes it one of the seven Hausa Bakwai states. Zazzau's most famous early ruler was Queen (or princess) Amina, who ruled either in the mid-15th or mid-16th centuries, and was held by Muhammed Bello, an early 19th-century Hausa historian and the second Sultan of Sokoto, to have been the first to establish a kingdom among the Hausa.[3]
Zazzau was a collection point for slaves to be delivered to the northern markets of Kano and Katsina, where they were exchanged for salt with traders who carried them north of the Sahara.[4] According to the history in the chronicle, Islam was introduced to the kingdom around 1456, but appears to have spread slowly, and pagan rituals continued until the Fulani conquest of 1808. At several times in its history, Zazzau was subject to neighboring states such as Songhai, Bornu and Kwararafa.[5]
Answer:
The Battle of Gettysburg, fought between June 1 and 3, 1863 between Union forces and Confederate forces, was one of the major turning points of the Civil War, as the Union victory stopped the Confederate advance in the territory of the north and left free way for the Union to be able to advance towards the territory of the south.
The battle itself was a massacre, with more than 50,000 dead in total. But in addition to being a military disaster for the Confederacy, it also had implications from a strategic point of view. An eventual southern victory would have implied a clear advance towards New York, which would imply an almost certain victory for the Confederacion. Furthermore, a Confederate victory would have encouraged France and Great Britain to ally with it to defeat the Union, which in those years was a major commercial adversary. Therefore, the victory of the Union in this battle prevented the participation of France and Great Britain in the conflict.
