The Missed Opportunity of 'The Woman King'

The stunning and brave Dahomey “amazons” recently made famous by the tedious new film “The Woman King,” had one major conflict in recorded reality, with the French, where tens of thousands of them charged the French lines in hand-to-hand combat and were mowed down by superior tech and tactics. After four hours of fighting, despite attrition in French supplies and ammunitions, with around 2,000 of their best dead, they withdrew. The French lost around sixteen men.
