Benin was colonized by the French in the late 19th century. The French established control over the region after a series of military campaigns and treaties, ultimately leading to the formal establishment of French West Africa in 1904. Prior to French colonization, the area was influenced by various local kingdoms, most notably the Kingdom of Dahomey. The colonial rule significantly impacted the region's political, social, and economic structures.
