The great role of women in the War
Time: 1890
Place: Porto-Novo, Benin
Details: In 1890, King Béhanzin started fighting French forces in the course of the First Franco-Dahomean War. European observers noted that the women "handled admirably" in hand-to-hand combat, but fired their flintlocks from the hip rather than firing from the shoulder.

Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
