History of Nagaland

The history of Nagaland is cloudy before the British rule of India, but certainly in this time the British did have a few run-ins with the Nagas. By the end of the 19th Century the British had made peace with the Nagas and found them powerful allies in the war against the Japanese, who reached Kohima before finally retreating.

After India achieved independence Nagaland became an independent state in 1963. Separatists continued to demand full independence but this fizzled out in 1975 when Nagaland accepted the Indian Constitution.
