Benin (French: ''Bénin''), officially known as the '''Republic of Benin''' (French: ''République du Bénin''), also formerly known as Dahomey and once part of the infamous Slave Coast, what is now the Republic of Benin was once the mighty Kingdom of Dahomey, a kingdom mostly known for its AmazonBrigade (that and the fact that they were nicknamed [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast “the black]] [[TheSpartanWay Sparta”]] should tell you all you need to know about its sheer awesomeness). Though it can be more accurately described as a BattleHarem since the women were all wives of the King of Dahomey, and they also served as his BodyguardBabes. The kingdom faced colonialism in 1892, when France managed to conquer the kingdom during the Second Franco-Dahomean War, turning it into a [[UsefulNotes/TheFrenchColonialEmpire colony]] named French Dahomey.
