Dikwa is a town located in Borno State, Nigeria. ==History of Dikwa== Dikwa used to be part of the kingdom of Borno before being captured by Rabih in 1893. The latter had the place fortified and Dikwa became the capital of his kingdom from 1893 to 1900.〔W. K. R. Hallam, ''The life and times of Rabih Fadl Allah'' (Ilfracombe: Stockwell, 1977).〕 In 1900, the French defeated Rabih and captured Dikwa. The town was handed over to the Germans in 1902 because of a treaty signed in 1893 between the Germans and the British which stipulated that the town of Dikwa should become German. This treaty is at the origin of the Dikwa Emirate.〔Obaro Ikime, ‘The fall of Borno’, in ''The fall of Nigeria: the British conquest'' (London: Heinemann Educational, 1977), pp.178-184.〕 Between 1902 and 1916, Dikwa was the capital of what the Europeans called German Borno. After the First World War until 1961, the town and the Dikwa Emirate were administered by the British under a League of Nations Mandate and a United Nations Trusteeship agreement.〔Michael Callahan, ''Mandates and Empire: The League of Nations and Africa 1914-1931'' (Sussex Academic Press, 2008) and Michael Callahan, ''A Sacred Trust: The League of Nations and Africa, 1929-1946'' (Sussex Academic Press, 2004).〕 In 1942, Dikwa ceased to be the capital of the Dikwa Emirate. Bama became the capital of the Emirate which kept its name as Dikwa Emirate.〔S. J. Hogben and Anthony Kirk-Greene, ''The Emirates of Northern Nigeria: a Preliminary Survey of Their Historical Traditions'' (Oxford University Press: London, 1966), p. 352.〕 In 1961, after a United Nations plebiscite, the town and the Dikwa Emirate became officially Nigerian.〔Report of the United Nations Commissioner for the Supervision of the Plebiscites in the Cameroons under United Kingdom Administration, (T/1491) (New York: Trusteeship Council, United Nations, 1959).〕 File:Dikwa_mosque.jpg| Mosque of Dikwa (2010) File:Dikwa_fort.jpg| Fort of Dikwa model (Museum of Dikwa - 2010) File:Dikwa_fort2.jpg| Walls of Dikwa fort (2010) File:Dikwa_fort3.jpg| Tower and walls of Dikwa fort(2010) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dikwa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
