Battle of Paouingnan
19th century Yoruba-Dahomey battle
Following Oyo’s invasions of Dahomey in the early 18th century, the Dahomean king Agaja agreed to pay an annual tribute in slaves, cloth, and cowries to Oyo in exchange for peace and limited autonomy. Ghezo’s reorganized army notably included the elite corps of female soldiers known as the Mino or Dahomey Amazons, who played a key role in defending the kingdom and projecting its military power.
