History: In 1916 the People of Azawad started to rise up in the cities of Gao and Timbuktu demanding Independence. They had many Signs saying "Give us independence!". France ignored these Protesters though so Azawad did many acts on this. They Killed many French Soldiers in Azawad and continued to fight. This started the Azawad conflict and eventually the Azawad Revolution. Eventually France surrendered to Azawad and gave them Independence in 1918. They Started to improve their economy and remove French from their Country and made everyone speak the Songhay Language. The People of Azawad would be hugely patriotic and help build up the nation.
