Abomey 1892 2nd Franco-Dahomean War
While advancing north into Dahomey (modern Benin) against King Behanzin, French Colonel Alfred Dodds fought off an attack at Dogba, then secured the holy city of Kana (6 November) before marching on Abomey. With nearby forts bombarded, the King burned and abandoned his capital. Dodds entered the city to enforce another truce until surrender at Acheribe (17 November 1892).
