This week on For the love of history we dive into the story of the Dahomey Amazon, the real warriors that inspired the Dora Milaje of Wakanda. A ruthless group of women who protected the rulers of the Dahomey kingdom with their lives and fought to the death against French colonizers. Their origins are shrouded in mystery with legends remarkably similar to Marvel's Black Panther. Come with me as we uncover the history of the Dahomey kingdom, the lives of the Amazons, and the Spartan-like skill with which they protected their king and country.
