Ibadan Republic
From Warlike
The Ibadan Republic or the Ibadan Empire was a powerful Yoruba state in present-day Nigeria. It emerged in the 19th century following the collapse of the Oyo Empire. Initially a war camp in the 1820s, Ibadan evolved into a major military power after its decisive victory against the Ilorin Emirate in 1838 at the Battle of Òsogbo. This victory not only halted the Fula jihad's advance but also established Ibadan as the principal defender of the Yoruba region, propelling its imperial ambitions. Its empire however was relatively short-lived, lasting until its incorporation into British colonial Nigeria in 1893.
