Kingdom of Benin
Kingdom of Benin
The Kingdom of Benin connects to 1885 places across 14 topics through 50 Bunkabop connections, spanning history, landmarks, and colonial governance. History dominates, with strong threads running to both Nigeria and the country of Benin, which was renamed in 1975 in the kingdom's honor. Its bronze sculpture tradition links it to African archaeology, tracing stylistic continuities with Nok terracottas. The British occupied Benin and absorbed it into the Niger Coast Protectorate, shaping connections to London and broader colonial networks.
