No. That’s not it read again.

Cuz they were unfamiliar with the terrain. There was no definite and concrete map of West Africa.

@@adinorteyKofi It somewhat appears as if the Ashanti’s dominated the area of what is now known as Ghana/Ivory Coast and parts of Togo that the British needed to go outside of that area to seek support to face the Ashantis. That’s what it seemed like.

@@adinorteyKofifoolishness, the fights were in Ghana/Gold Coast what are you talking about west Africa? Foolish boy! Stop the foolishness

educate yourself properly. The Gas were never conquered by the ashantis

@@spankybartol1399 Who lied to you

I hope a very detailed series will tell the story very well. I hope a director and producer who have the resources invest in this history.

You need to do more research Kwadwo on Kaku ACKAH

😅

Asante - Nzema alliance date back just within the early formative period of Asante rising into an empire. Primarily, after Asante broke the wings (Aowin) of Denkyira. As at the time Asante did not know the boundary of nzemaa so did make some incursion against some nzema subjects (just about 2 years before the demise of Osei Tutu I). This brought about a conflict...In fact, it was in this fight that asante realized the strength of Appolonia as the nzemas were advanced in weaponry (of course due to the fact that they had dealings with the whites for a long time). So, it was not because of the Asante alliance necessarily (even though some historians may subjectively create such impression). Apolonia or Nzemas were well known for their opposition of white rule about 300 years before asante became a nation (I think you should know that). It is because of the opposition that nzema strength subsided over the centuries. By late 1530 some factions had emerged i.e. the Ahantas/Nyindas, the Essumans (2013 census of Essumans were only 300 in Cote D'Ivoire), and Gyamans (who became prominent until Asante incursion). Kaku Ackah was opposing the white man rule as a tradition; as almost all kings of the Nzemas before him had opposed white rule (the reason why the whites never brought formal education to their shores as the antagonism was deep). It is because of their consistent opposition that got Nzema divided into several groups as some of them occasionally sided the whites then later revolted. A typical case is the Ahanta people. As a faction who sided with the white man agenda later on revolted which brought about the Axim/axima/axema (mispronunciation of nzima by the dutch) wars. However, Kaku Ackah deepened his alliance with Asante more than the traditional way, as he himself was on conquest to bring all formal subjects under Nzema before Asante grabs them all (which he eventually failed to achieve due to dissident in his own government). His deepening of Asante alliance was rather strategic both to maintain his hold and to avoid asante from taking areas he had already conquered. In perspective, it was a two-edge sword scenario why Kaku Ackah was targeted by the British, (1) on or by traditional position and the would-to conquer formal territory and (2) The deepening of Asante alliance and its eventual consequences that may affect the coastal belt (I mean fantes, Gas and the rest). So my brother Kwadwo do further research to find out.

he is an asante. what is your problem?

​@@amoahfrank5162he is not an asante but akuapem

@@amoahfrank5162 he is not one. Any way, please where did I refer to you in my comment.? If you have a comment please do not attach or refer to me.

@@volta3528 Don't loss your mind. The platform is not for you alone. U write bullshit and you don't want response. You can go and burn the volta sea. History when truly represented should not only come from the indigene of that history but anyone who knows it. It shows how clearly you hate asantes. Your hatred is not worth it. Open your mind and don't close it.

Thank u lawyer for opening Our eye on something we dont know god bless you
