My list of Conqueror Kings:
• King Taharqa- Due to his battles with the Syrians and Herodotus even mentions him invading Europe and making it as far to the steps of Hercules in Spain! The bible also mentions his battles!

• Idris Alooma- He modernized Kornembu Empire with Ottomon military training, got them guns, and was recorded as winning as many as 300 battles undefeated!
• Queen Amarenas- She invaded Roman Egypt after they tried to make her and the Nubians pay unfair taxes. She stole the statue head of Augustus and brought it back to Nubia along with hundreds of Roman prisoners!
•King Kaleb of Axsum- When he heard of Christian Ethiopians being oppressed in Yemen, he raised an Army from Ethiopia and crossed the sea annexing Yemen and Arabia and bringing it under African control.
•Jean Jacques Dessalines- Even though Haiti is not in Africa, it was established by Africans. And when it was founded Dessalines was declared Emperor of the Haitian Empire. Dessalines was the one who defeated Napoleons Army and all laid waste to the Spanish and British. He was born in West Africa.

Edit: Here are more great Warrior Kings to checkout

•Yohannes IV of Ethiopia-He pushed back an Ottoman invasion of Ethiopia and was the first to engage the Italians when they started breaking their peace treaties

• Tewodoros II- when Ethiopia was fragmented during the age of princes, being emperor was nothing more than a figure head, he put an end to that and United the country

•Ganga Zumba of Brazil- Created an independent African Kingdom in Brazil that lasted from 1605-1695 and defeated the Portuguese on several engagements

•John Horse of Florida- Was prince of the “Black seminoles” and led the largest slave revolt in US history leading them from Florida to freedom all the way in Mexico!

It's good that there is a YouTube channel where we can tell and learn our history.

The last king mentioned from Zimbabwe... Our heritage still lives in those that practice it. Thank you for the mention. There are great stories from out regions.. Just not mentioned main stream.

[petermorton]

[ThePawcios]

I really appreciate that you finally add sources at the end! Great content! Cheers

It is known that African military strength was a reality, there still lots of people of African descent serving in the modern armed forces, the USA marines come to mind in that respect. WW2 had many soldiers of African descent.

The strength if African warriors is undeniably brilliant. I love this series.Thank You. I would also really like to know about people who didn't need to make war. For me that is the goal of living, to be able to live life. I'd love to learn more about creativity, intellectual pursuits, female perspectives. I'm always learning a lot about people who may have been my ancestors and I love it yet military history in general (world wide) seems better documented than another other kind of human event. It like everyday people who benefited from the security brought to communities by strong militaries have many of their achievements lost in time.

[terrybarnes]

Wow, you gave me too much credit. I've never heard of any of these rulers. Thank you for these lessons.

[ubhutiontsundu]

i'm planning on doing a NEGUS t-shirt with images of KINGS to shift the outlook on the name will definitely feature some of the kings mentioned

[Brohde]

Keep up the great work! As a lover of history, I really find your videos insightful and enjoyable!

[noviloba]

Good idea to add references and sources at the end. It makes the work even more professional and authoritative. Great work as usual.

1. king Cannibal (defeated the roman army and nearly succeeded in taken over the empire)
2. Shaka Zulu (his name was feared throughout history. People legit shook at the thought of his name.
3. Queen Ameena (regarded as the most fearless hausa warrior in history).

[haroldedmunds]

Very informative. We need more information like this. It's Hidden History

[ameetachi]

Awesome content. Do one on the Ekumeku wars between the Igbo and the British please. It’s one of the most overlooked wars in colonial Africa history.

[countryboi]

once again this is amazing work, these videos are always well done and the narration is top notch.

[teanistillmon]

Yes. I love these. You put in some Kick ass videos. I hope you do some such as: Amenhotep II, Seti I, Thutmosis III, Narmer.

[TenGwaS]

Well done on bringing to life Changamire Dombo. This is where I would like to pick up a narrative
