| dbo:abstract | Agaja (also spelled Agadja and also known as Trudo Agaja or Trudo Audati) was a king of the Kingdom of Dahomey, in present-day Benin, who ruled from 1718 until 1740. He came to the throne after his brother King Akaba. During his reign, Dahomey expanded significantly and took control of key trade routes for the Atlantic slave trade by conquering Allada (1724) and Whydah (1727). Wars with the powerful Oyo Empire to the east of Dahomey resulted in Agaja accepting tributary status to that empire and providing yearly gifts. After this, Agaja attempted to control the new territory of the kingdom of Dahomey through militarily suppressing revolts and creating administrative and ceremonial systems. Agaja died in 1740 after another war with the Oyo Empire and his son Tegbessou became the new king. Agaja is credited with creating many of the key government structures of Dahomey, including the and the Mehu. The motivations of Agaja and his involvement with the slave trade remain an active dispute among historians of Dahomey with some arguing that he was resistant to the slave trade but agreed to it because of the need to defend his kingdom, while others argue that no such motivation existed and the wars against Allada and Whydah were simply for economic control. (en) Dossou Agadja war der fünfte König von Dahomey. Er folgte seinem Bruder Houessou Akaba und regierte von 1708 bis 1732. Akabas einziger Sohn, Agbo Sassa, war erst 10 Jahre alt, als Akaba starb, sodass Agadja auf den Thron kam. Er verweigerte seinem Neffen den Thron, als dieser volljährig wurde, und trieb ihn ins Exil. Agadjas Regierung war geprägt von andauernden Kriegen. Die Yoruba-Soldaten des Königreiches von Oyo wurden durch die Armee Abomeys (der Hauptstadt Dahomeys) zurückgeschlagen; Agadja schloss Frieden und zahlte fortan Tribut. Die nächsten hundert Jahre wurden diese jährlichen Zahlungen an den König von Oyo fortgeführt, und zwar in Form von jungen Männern und Frauen, die für die Sklaverei oder für Opferzeremonien bestimmt waren, daneben auch durch Kleidung, Waffen, Tiere und Perlen. Trotzdem wuchs unter Agadjas Herrschaft das Reich. Im Jahre 1724 wurde Allada erobert, 1727 das Königreich von Savi mitsamt seiner Hauptstadt Ouidah. Letzterer Sieg wurde unter anderem durch einen Stosstrupp weiblicher Kavallerie, durch die europäischen Beobachter Amazonen genannt, erreicht. Diese Amazonen wurden zu einer dynastischen Tradition. Durch die Eroberung von Savi und Ouidah gewann Agadja einen direkten Zugang zum Meer, der ihm den lukrativen Sklavenhandel mit Europa ermöglichte. In diesem Zusammenhang ist auch sein Herrschaftssymbol zu sehen, ein europäisches Schiff (Karavelle).
