The Greatest Conqueror Kings Of Africa

[@matthewmann8969]

Asantes, Azandes, Zulus, Nubians, Mandinkas, And Axumites are great examples of African military, army, troop, squad, soldier, general, infantry, regiment, segment, or calvalry preparations yeah they all exhibit and showcase very great achievements

[@admirekashiri9879]

I think the focus here is more so on the rulers rather than just the ethnic groups and kingdoms they ruled.

[@realdeal8303]

It should be about the tribes

[@WeedInMyAss]

You forgot to mention the Yorubas from the Oyo empire with their heavy cavalry. Probably one of the more strong empires in my opinion.

[@ameetachi9510]

The Igbo too. One of the most overlooked wars in African history is the Ekumeku war which lasted about 20 years between the Igbo people and the British.

[@ohlangeni]

By 'Nubians' you probably meant the Kingdom of Kush. Historically the people of Nubia include both Egyptians and Kushites

[@complexsin5469]

Yes!! I'm sick of this narrative that Africans were so peaceful and weak. Military achievement is a source of pride, it shows an ability to defend your borders and enforce your culture's influence.

[@jj2387]

they just conquering and enslaving other around. I would look what you say if this king conquer your tribe, enslave, rape and sold for europeans or arabs and how much you romantise him

[@complexsin5469]

@@jj2387 which proves my point, the ability to defend your borders...you wouldn't be enslaved, raped, etc. If you had a powerful military that is capable of invading would be aggressors. I would rather belong to an mighty empire instead of an complacent tribe. The world back then was brutal and complacency was punished.

[@evolvedape2161]

As a white man, I agree. I would find it insulting to be told my entire life my history was that only of subjugation, of faux-peace, of “resistance”. Hippies and tree huggers until those darn whites showed up. I refuse to condescend to my black brothers and sisters by coddling them in this fake history. Africa was conquered once by Europeans, but Africans have conquered before in their own right just the same.

[@kbtitan2464]

Do you think it's a myth that Africans are passive people in nature??

[@ghipodcast6286]

Gotta agree. I started the African rabbit hole a few years ago. The character of great men, kings and conquerors tends towards very serious and hard men.

[@wayne47able]

My list of Conqueror Kings: • King Taharqa- Due to his battles with the Syrians and Herodotus even mentions him invading Europe and making it as far to the steps of Hercules in Spain! The bible also mentions his battles! • Idris Alooma- He modernized Kornembu Empire with Ottomon military training, got them guns, and was recorded as winning as many as 300 battles undefeated! • Queen Amarenas- She invaded Roman Egypt after they tried to make her and the Nubians pay unfair taxes. She stole the statue head of Augustus and brought it back to Nubia along with hundreds of Roman prisoners! •King Kaleb of Axsum- When he heard of Christian Ethiopians being oppressed in Yemen, he raised an Army from Ethiopia and crossed the sea annexing Yemen and Arabia and bringing it under African control. •Jean Jacques Dessalines- Even though Haiti is not in Africa, it was established by Africans. And when it was founded Dessalines was declared Emperor of the Haitian Empire. Dessalines was the one who defeated Napoleons Army and all laid waste to the Spanish and British. He was born in West Africa. Edit: Here are more great Warrior Kings to checkout •Yohannes IV of Ethiopia-He pushed back an Ottoman invasion of Ethiopia and was the first to engage the Italians when they started breaking their peace treaties • Tewodoros II- when Ethiopia was fragmented during the age of princes, being emperor was nothing more than a figure head, he put an end to that and United the country •Ganga Zumba of Brazil- Created an independent African Kingdom in Brazil that lasted from 1605-1695 and defeated the Portuguese on several engagements •John Horse of Florida- Was prince of the “Black seminoles” and led the largest slave revolt in US history leading them from Florida to freedom all the way in Mexico!

The strength if African warriors is undeniably brilliant. I love this series.Thank You. I would also really like to know about people who didn't need to make war. For me that is the goal of living, to be able to live life. I'd love to learn more about creativity, intellectual pursuits, female perspectives. I'm always learning a lot about people who may have been my ancestors and I love it yet military history in general (world wide) seems better documented than another other kind of human event. It like everyday people who benefited from the security brought to communities by strong militaries have many of their achievements lost in time.

[@AchieOtigo]

This! I really hope this is taken into account for upcoming content. I'm very much interested in this perspective tbh.

[@musiclover5023]

It is known that African military strength was a reality, there still lots of people of African descent serving in the modern armed forces, the USA marines come to mind in that respect. WW2 had many soldiers of African descent.

To your list of the great kings of Africa, add Menelik of Ethiopia, who was the son of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba - after the death of his father, Menelik expanded his Ethiopian kingdom from the Arabian Sea to the Atlantic - how and when he did this is documented in historic records. Menelik's famous son was Dawit II ( David the 2nd, who was the great grandson of King David ). Online you will find photos of Queen Elizabeth bowing down to Haile Selassie, the descendant of Dawit II because she knew he was descended from King David and King Solomon - the timeline we are given for their lifespans is a psy-op of epic proportions.
