**Oyo Empire (1400s - 1835):**

The Oyo Empire, which emerged in the 14th century, was a dominant Yoruba state in southwestern Nigeria. At its height, it was a formidable military and political power, with a well-organized cavalry that expanded its territory significantly. The empire's capital, Oyo-Ile, was a thriving urban center, and its political structure included a complex system of checks and balances. The Oyo Empire engaged in extensive trade with neighboring states and European traders along the coast, dealing in goods such as kola nuts, ivory, and slaves. Despite internal conflicts and external pressures, the Oyo Empire left a lasting legacy on the Yoruba culture.
