Menabe

Menabe was a Sakalava kingdom founded before 1600 along the Morondava River in western Madagascar. Under Andriandahifotsy, who ruled in the seventeenth century, it expanded into the strongest kingdom on the island by the mid-eighteenth century.

Merina king Radama I invaded Menabe in 1820, 1821 and 1822. King Ramitraho sought peace through the marriage of his daughter Rasalimo to Radama, but the Merina conquered southern Menabe in 1834 after Ramitraho's death.
