About this ebook
History Encounters unearths the greatest stories with the major events from Kingdom of Dahomey to expand reader horizons for readers to be best informed.
The Kingdom of Dahomey, a West African Kingdom which lasted for more than three hundred years, takes us into the heart of darkest Africa. It's the land of voodoo and rituals, cannibalism, mighty kings, cruelty, and beauty. It's a fascinating story that many of us have never heard.
The Fon people established the kingdom of Dahomey based on the conquest and enslavement of their neighbors. Many of the eight million enslaved people who were taken from African shores in the dark years of slave trading came through the Atlantic ports controlled by the Kingdom of Dahomey. Their fearsome band of woman warriors, called Amazons by the Europeans, conducted a reign of terror to meet the demands of a market that traded in human flesh. The story of the Kingdom of Dahomey is not for the faint-hearted.
