Fulani war 1804-1810 also know as Fulani Holy War or Jihad of Usman dan Fodio was a military conquest in present day Nigeria. Islamic reformer Usman dan Fodio directed his conquest by the Fulani against the Hausa kingdoms of the north and united them under his Sokoto Caliphate. Even though conquest was purely political it was termed as jihad to reflect its religious flavour.
