In February 1897, British forces invaded the Kingdom of Benin, burned Benin City, deposed and exiled Oba Ovonramwen, and looted thousands of royal and sacred objects now known collectively as the Benin Bronzes. Britain described the operation as retaliation, but it also eliminated resistance to imperial commercial control. Descendant communities continue to seek restitution.
