In achebe's "civil peace," the character jonathan mentions that one of his sons died during the nigerian civil war. what is the historical significance of this background? millions of civilians died under british colonial rule. the nigerian government purposely targeted biafran boys. there is no historical significance; it is just a fictional character's background. millions of civilians died during the nigerian civil war.

The correct answer is D) millions of civilians died during the Nigerian Civil War.

In Achebe's civil peace, the character Jonathan mentions that one of his sons died during the Civil War. The historical significance of this is that millions of civilians died during the Nigerian Civil War.

Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe wrote "Civil Peace" in 1971. The book refers to the period of the Nigerian Civil War and how affected people after those years. The Nigerian Civil War was held from 1967 to 1970. Jonathan Iwegbu is the main character of the story. What Achebe wants to transmit with his story is that the consequences of the Civil War did so much damage to people and property, and the promise of real peace and opportunities for Nigerians are still to be delivered.
