Wikipedia's article on the Oyo Empire, community-edited. Reliable for the empire's fragmentation beginning with Ilorin's 1817 secession, its continued collapse through the 1820s and 1830s, the destruction of its capital Oyo-Ile in 1835, and 1836 as the empire's traditional end date; and for the resulting wave of Yoruba war captives entering the Atlantic slave trade through the first half of the nineteenth century, most bound for Brazil and Cuba, where they were labeled Lucumi.
