Abstract
War in the context of this study is a basic aspect of human development. It visualizes the bourgeois nature of human relationship and national interest. It requires the use of clever and tact in getting a desired need; a skillful plan, action or movement aimed at giving extra advantage in a struggle or arrangement. Just like the wars fought in Europe in the 19th and 20th centuries, there were revolutionary wars fought among the Yoruba people to ascertain political dominance over one another in their geographical space. The revolutionary wars of the 19th century had a pile of diplomatic moves which either gave advantages during the war or paved way for a subtly skillful negotiation during the war. This paper examines the role of diplomacy and manoeuvring played during the selected revolutionary wars; despite the low level of literacy as at this point in time. Primary and secondary sources are employed in this research as well as thorough descriptive and analytic methods of report writing.
