From the 17th century to the 19th century, the country was today known as Benin ruled by the kingdom of Dahomey . The region became known as the slave coast in the early 17th century because of the existence of the transatlantic slave trade . In 1892, with the slave trade banned and with reduced regional power, France took over the area and renamed it French Dahomey. In 1960, Dahomey was given full independence from France, with a democratic government for the next 12 years. Between 1972 and 1990, a self-proclaimed Marxist-Leninist dictatorship called the People’s Republic of Benin existed., which began a period of oppression that eventually led to an economic collapse. The formation of the Republic of Benin took place in 1991, which led to multi-party elections.
