Years: 1828 - 1839
Some of the emerging Yoruba states have started as war camps during the period of chaos in which Oyo breaks up and the Muslim revolutionaries who are allied to the caliphate conquer northern Yorubaland.
Ibadan, which will become the largest city in black Africa during the nineteenth century, owes its growth to the role it plays in the Oyo civil wars.
Ibadan 's omuogun (war boys) raid far afield for slaves and hold off the advance of the Fulani.
They also take advantage of Benin's isolation to seize the roads leading to the flourishing slave port at Lagos.
The threat that Ibadan will dominate Yorubaland alarms its rivals and inspires a military alliance led by the Egba city of Abeokuta.
Dahomey, to the west, further contributes to the insecurity by raiding deep into Yorubaland, the direction of raids depending upon its current alliances.
