Answer Details
Nigeria broke diplomatic relations with France in 1961 because of France's atomic test in the Sahara Desert. France conducted a series of nuclear tests in the Sahara, which was a former French colony, without consulting the Nigerian government, leading to tensions between the two countries. Nigeria, along with other African countries, condemned the tests and cut diplomatic ties with France in protest. It was seen as a major milestone in the fight for African sovereignty and the end of colonialism in the continent.
