The Benin monarchy historically faced rivalry from several groups, notably the Oyo Empire and the British during the late 19th century. The Oyo Empire sought to exert control over the Benin Kingdom, leading to military conflicts. Later, British colonial interests culminated in the punitive expedition of 1897, which resulted in the conquest of Benin City and significant disruption to the monarchy. This marked a significant turning point in the relationship between the Benin monarchy and external powers.

In 1897, British troops invaded Benin City, which was part of the Benin Kingdom in present-day Nigeria, and looted a significant number of cultural treasures, including bronze plaques, ivory, and other artifacts. These treasures were taken back to Britain and have since been displayed in museums, notably the British Museum. The invasion and subsequent plundering were justified by the British as a response to alleged threats against their interests, but they are now widely regarded as acts of colonial violence and cultural theft. Many of these artifacts remain a point of contention in discussions about repatriation and cultural heritage.
