Olubadan of Ibadan vs Tabinshwehti

The Olubadan commanded Ibadan's forces in the Kiriji War, a 16-year conflict against the Ekiti Parapo alliance. The war ended in a stalemate with the 1893 Treaty of Ibadan, which established British influence over the region.

The Olubadan became the traditional ruler of Ibadan, a major Yoruba city-state. His reign occurred during Ibadan's expansion as a military and commercial power in the 19th century, following the decline of the Oyo Empire.

The Olubadan signed a treaty with the British colonial government, ending the Kiriji War and placing Ibadan under British protection. The treaty preserved the Olubadan's authority but reduced Ibadan's military independence.

Tabinshwehti, building on his father Minkyinyo's achievements, conquered the Mon kingdom of Pegu and other states, unifying much of Burma under Toungoo rule. He moved the capital to Pegu and established the Toungoo Empire as the dominant power in the region.

Tabinshwehti launched an invasion of the Ayutthaya Kingdom (Siam), capturing the capital and forcing the Siamese king to become a vassal. This campaign extended Toungoo influence into Southeast Asia and demonstrated Burmese military power.

Tabinshwehti was assassinated by his own bodyguard, a Mon nobleman named Smim Sawhtut, who then declared himself king. The assassination plunged the Toungoo Empire into a succession crisis and civil war, temporarily halting its expansion.
