The Dahomey Amazons fought with many different kingdoms, including the Oyo Empire, the Bariba Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Porto-Novo. They were victorious in most of their battles, and their reputation for ferocity and skill made them a powerful force to be reckoned with.


The Dahomey Amazons were a female warrior corps of the Kingdom of Dahomey (now Benin). They were founded in the 17th century and disbanded in 1904. 


The Amazons were a highly trained and disciplined fighting force, and they played a significant role in the military campaigns of Dahomey. They were also known for their fierceness and their loyalty to the king.

They were victorious in most of these wars, and their reputation for ferocity and skill made them a powerful force to be reckoned with.


The Amazons were disbanded in 1904 after Dahomey was conquered by France. However, their legacy continues to inspire people around the world.
