@madmires: Franck Zanu claims that pre-colonial African societies were nothing more than “tribes with chiefs” and that Europeans simply applied the word “kingdom” to what were supposedly just tribes. But African history tells a very different story. The Kingdom of Dahomey was a powerful Fon state that expanded from the city of Abomey, conquered neighboring territories, and at one point became a tributary of the bigger Yoruba Oyo Empire. And Dahomey was just ONE example. The Mali Empire had a mansa, 16 princes, officials, governors, and local chiefs operating within a complex political hierarchy. Reducing centuries of African political history to “pot-bellied chiefs with two hundred wives” isn’t history it’s an oversimplification of a continent with hundreds of different political systems. Africa had kingdoms, empires, monarchies, city-states and centralized states long before European colonial rule. #AfricanHistory #HistoryTok #BlackHistory #africantiktok #BlackTikTok

The Europeans still use the tactics used to conquer Africa till date. Meet a Rich man who wants to rule so bad, take power from the real just king, give to this greedy rich fellow and Africa is theirs

Africans with pot belly’s ? if Africans had pot belly’s like he insinuates and looked unhealthy I don’t think slavery would have flourished like it did. This man likes to downplay black people a lot , he never talks positive about them or even their achievements.

It's accurate to say that they were chiefdoms rather than kingdoms. The same applies to the native Americans. It doesn't mean that there no cities or that there was no social organization. Anthropologists don't make much of distinction between chiefdom and kingdom btw.

If we think about the definition of a Kingdom being a complex society ruled by a centralized, hereditary monarch (like a king or queen) who holds supreme authority over a distinct territory which fits Benin, Mali, Kongo and more having something similar.
