The Journey
Over the past seven weeks, we have explored many different elements of the Benin Kingdom. We started by thinking about where you would find the kingdom in the modern world and followed this by looking at how they originally became one of the most powerful kingdom's in Western Africa. After this, the class explored the rapid rise and expansion of the Benin Kingdom before thinking about their links to the slave trade, the civil war and the eventual demise of the kingdom. Below, we have written lots of essays, demonstrating everything we have learnt about the Benin Kingdom.
