So, the British colonial government placed direct taxation on men in 1928 and got away with it.

In April 1929, they placed direct taxation on women, imposed warrant chiefs on Igbo communities otherwise egalitarian self directed in nature.

Set up courts and excluding women from government who had important roles in governance in traditional igbo society.

The women burnt down those courts and some British infrastructures, forced the colonial government to rescind the taxation and the Warrant chiefs removed 👏👏

The revolution lasted from November 1929 to January 1930.
