The Dahomey Kingdom Part 1

[@admirekashiri9879]

Thank you very much for this lecture I knew very little about the origin of the kingdom, its a very fascinating and complex story indeed.

Fantastic work. I have to say that this spotlighting of the Dahomeyan ethos alongside the warrior culture gives more balance than the usual portrayal

[@Dumebi2]

What is the usual portrayal you've come across?

[@theyoungottoman3533]

@@Dumebi2 Solely in a military history context to be honest.

Great video. May I know what are the primary sources of history of West Africa?

Amazons of Black Sparta is a good book

Nice video, a lot of detail here. I thought Dakodonu was Gedevi and his succession to the throne was due to an internal struggle with his brother Ganyehessu. It seems that was all propaganda. Could you speak more on the origins of the Adja people in Tado?
