Episode 69 - Ghezo

Episode 69 - Ghezo

This episode explores the rise and reign of Gezo, the powerful and deeply controversial King of Dahomey, tracing his life from a violent royal childhood through a calculated coup and into decades of war, terror, and exploitation. It examines how Gezo modernized Dahomey’s military, broke free from foreign domination, and built a fear-based state funded largely by the Atlantic slave trade, while ordinary people paid the price through raids, enslavement, and ritualized execution. Through public sacrifice, political purges, and relentless warfare, Gezo ruled by spectacle and intimidation, leaving behind a legacy that blends military brilliance with profound human suffering and raises hard questions about power, violence, and the cost of empire.
