The Kingdom of Benin, located in present-day Nigeria, began as a small Edo-speaking community around the 11th century. It evolved into a significant political entity under the leadership of the Oba, or king, who centralized power and expanded the kingdom's influence through trade, diplomacy, and military conquests. The kingdom became well-known for its sophisticated art, particularly bronze sculptures and intricate ivory carvings, which reflected its rich cultural heritage and advanced craftsmanship. By the 15th century, Benin had established itself as a powerful and organized state with extensive trade networks, particularly in ivory and palm oil.
