The ‘History of Africa’ podcast rejoins us to discuss the FOURTH and FIFTH wars in this colonial conflict. The British had scored previous victories, but defeating the Ashanti would be dangerous and costly.

These conflicts on the Gold Coast, or modern-day Ghana, would have major implications for Africa in the 20th century. We learn about the practical and symbolic importance of these wars.

Andy is the host of the ‘History of Africa podcast’. He has been researching the Anglo-Ashanti wars in his newest season, but has also covered Egypt and Ethiopia on excellent previous seasons.
