	Agadja
		Dossou Agadja was the fifth King of Dahomey.
		The kingdom of Abomey grew during Agadja's reign, however; it conquered Allada[?] in 1724, and in 1727 conquered the kingdom of Savi[?], including its major city, Ouidah[?].
		Agadja's victory over Ouidah[?] came in part as a result of his use of a corps of women shock-troopers, called Amazons by the Europeans after the women warriors of Greek myth, in his army.

	The bas-reliefs of the Royal Palaces of Abomey
		Agadja was the first to make war on them because they had detained a hunchback, son of the king of Gbowèlè.
		Agadja was saddened by this event and asked to join his jester in paying the last honours to his father.
		Agadja was generous to him, drawing deeply from his treasures of cowries, cloth, beads, etc. But at the end of the ceremonies the inhabitants of Gbowèlè elected the hunchback, Agadja's former jester, king.

		The kingdom of Abome grew during Agadja's reign, however; it conquered Allada in 1724, and in 1727 conquered the kingdom of Savi, including its major city, Ouidah.
		Agadja's victory over Ouidah came in part as a result of his use of a corps of women shock-troopers, called Dáxomé Amazons by the Europeans after the women warriors of Greek myth, in his army.
		Tegbessou's reign was characterized by internal intrigues and a failed foreign policy; he killed many coup-plotters and political enemies, refused to pay tribute to the Yorubas, and lost many battles in the punitive raids that followed.

	Dahomey - Article from FactBug.org - the fast Wikipedia mirror site
		As Dahomey's kings embarked on wars to expand their territory, they began using rifles and other firearms traded with French and Spanish slave-traders for young men captured in battle, who fetched a very high price from the European slave-merchants.
		Under King Agadja (ruled 1708-1732) the kingdom conquered Allada, where the ruling family originated, thereby gaining direct contact with European slave traders on the coast.
		Nevertheless, Agadja was unable to defeat the neighbouring kingdom of Oyo, Dahomey's chief rival in the slave trade, and in 1730, he became a tributary of Oyo, though he still managed to maintain Dahomey's independence.
