Aro was not a conquering power. They were interested primarily in trade. Not that they were not at all interested in power, but there was no systematic attempt to conquer and create an empire. They established colonies, and used their war mercenaries to intimidate stubborn clans who they felt threatened their interests. 2 Likes |

How can you call a group of people who terrorized fellow igbos and hunted them for slaves a CONFEDERACY? I think you are abusing that word or maybe I don't know what it means anymore. Aro confederacy is pure fabrication, it never existed. |
