The Kingdom of Dahomey (/dəˈhoʊmi/) was a West Africa Kingdom located within present-day Benin that existed from approximately 1600 until 1904.
The Dahomey Amazons are most well-known for being one of the few documented all-female armies worldwide. Their emergence is believed to have been one of necessity following the catastrophic dip in the male Dahomey population following years of ongoing violence with neighbouring West African provinces.
