In the 18th and 19th centuries, West Africa was a region on the brink of chaos. The French colonized the area, and the native people struggled. In 1892, the Dahomey Amazon Warriors emerged as a force to be reckoned with. These women warriors were fearless and determined, fighting tooth and nail to defend their land and people. The Dahomey Amazon Warriors inspire us all, and their story is a testament to the power of determination and female empowerment. Sources The Culture Trip https://theculturetrip.com/africa/ben...
