Today part of Ghana, the Gold Coast in West Africa was a Crown Jewel of the British Empire. Over the 19th century, the Brits fought FIVE wars with the Ashanti Kingdom for control of this territory.

We’re joined by the ‘History of Africa’ podcast to understand how these specific wars began and what they meant for the future of the continent. 

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.
