The independence movement in Niger primarily used peaceful negotiations and diplomatic efforts to gain independence from France. There was no major armed resistance or violent struggle against the colonial power in Niger. The process of decolonization in Niger was largely driven by the desire for self-determination and the changing dynamics of global politics following World War II, rather than external pressure or a direct request from the colonial power to leave. The peaceful approach to independence was in line with the nonviolent methods advocated by leaders such as Hamani Diori and played a significant role in shaping the transition to independence for the country.
