Ashanti wars
The Ashanti Wars were a series of conflicts between the Ashanti Empire in present-day Ghana and the British Empire during the 19th century. The wars were primarily driven by British efforts to expand their influence in West Africa and control the lucrative trade in gold and other resources. The Ashanti resisted fiercely, utilizing their well-organized military and strategic acumen. Despite their efforts, the British ultimately defeated the Ashanti, leading to the annexation of Ashanti territory and the incorporation of the Ashanti Kingdom into the British Gold Coast colony by the early 20th century. #digitalartist
