Yes.

This crew however are from what is now known as Benin Republic in West Africa right next to Naija. The Kingdom used to be called Dahomey. One day, their king decided he wanted an army of badass female soldiers. He started with badass female elephant hunters and then they were trained in the ways of sword and gun till they became an army of scary ultraviolent conquerors who kicked everyone's asses for like two centuries until the French showed up with gunboats and Maxim machine guns.

The Europeans called them the Dahomey "Amazons" because the Greek Amazons were the only other female army they had ever heard of. Their proper name was the Mino.
