I can explain how contact with Europeans led to the Benin Bronzes being looted.
Muuji qoraalka
In the 1500s CE Portugese merchants began to trade goods like guns with Benin in exchange for enslaved people.
The Dutch, French and English entered this trade in the 1600s CE, making Benin rich and powerful.
However, by the 1800s CE, the power of Benin had weakened, and the British wanted to control trade in the region.
In 1897 they invaded the kingdom of Benin, burning Benin City to the ground and making it part of British Nigeria.
During the invasion thousands of pieces of Edo artwork, including some of those in the British Museum, were looted.
