Civil Peace:
The story I am considering for my Cultural/Historical analysis is Civil Peace by Chinua Achebe. The story takes place in Nigeria when they were coming out of a civil war. The theme is about the struggles and cultural changes the family encounters during their hard times at the wars end. The thing that keeps them going is that "Nothing puzzles God."
The Civil war in Nigeria is not familiar to be. I would do some heavy research on the war to try to determine the significant historical ties. The only clues that are given are of the currencies being used and how terrified they were when they heard knocking at their door. The clue that gives the historical setting is that he people knocking on their door said, "War done finish... No civil war again." The keywords I would use in my research would be Nigerian Civil war 1970.
