dc.description.abstractThis thesis is an attempt at the reconstruction of the history of Karu, Kurape and Kurudu kingdoms c. '1700-1900 A.D. These were Gbagyl kingdoms located in the heart of Nigeria. By the beginning of the 17th century the area had been occupied by the g'bagyi and under the p o l i t i c a l control of Kurape for at least a century. However, by the end of the 18th centuiy the internal contradictions and the pressures of external forces disabled Kurape effective control of Karu and Kurudu area. By the beginning of the 19th century Karu and Kurudu had become splinter states with defined boundaries. Although they had become indapendent of Kurape, they s t i l l maintained some economic, cultural and military t i e s , and sometimes organised consorti im military efforts in order to ward off and curb extern a l attacks. In the course of t h i s study it was consistently argued that the internal factors were of paramount importance in the emergence of the kingdoms. And tJ s p l i t of Kurape kingdom was to a larger extent caused by the rulers of Kurape who raided their subjects. The major challenge these kingdoms faced in the 19th century was the jihadista a c t i v i t i e s in the region. F i r s t , there sharp demographic changes. The jihadists a c t i v i t i e s forced down the Hausa, Gwandara,en_US
