Charles Brooke vs Lamido of Adamawa

As a senior official under his uncle, Charles Brooke helped suppress the Chinese rebellion in Sarawak in 1857. The rebellion, led by gold miners, briefly captured Kuching but was crushed by Brooke forces, restoring order.

Charles Brooke succeeded his uncle James Brooke as the second White Rajah of Sarawak on August 3, 1868. He inherited a kingdom that he had helped administer since 1852, continuing the Brooke family's rule over Sarawak.

Charles Brooke expanded Sarawak's territory through a series of military campaigns and treaties with the Sultan of Brunei between 1868 and 1905. He annexed the Baram, Limbang, and Lawas regions, more than doubling the size of the kingdom.

Charles Brooke founded the Sarawak Museum in Kuching in 1888, one of the oldest museums in Southeast Asia. The museum housed natural history and ethnographic collections, reflecting his interest in the region's culture and biodiversity.

Modibbo Adama established the Adamawa Emirate after receiving a flag from Usman dan Fodio. He gathered Fulani followers and began consolidating control over the region. This foundation created a new political entity that would become a major emirate in the Sokoto Caliphate.

Modibbo Adama led his forces to capture the town of Yola from the local Bata people. He established Yola as the capital of the Adamawa Emirate. The conquest provided a strategic center for administration and further expansion into the Benue River region.

Modibbo Adama conducted military campaigns against non-Muslim kingdoms such as Bata, Vere, and Chamba. These campaigns expanded the emirate's territory and spread Islam. The wars resulted in the subjugation of numerous communities and the incorporation of their lands into Adamawa.
