AshantiKingdom (also spelled Asante), West African monarchy centered in the Ashanti region of what is now Ghana.
Founded at the beginning of the 1700s by a confederation of Akan-speaking peoples, the AshantiKingdom attained the height of its power 100 years later, dominating all of what is now Ghana and parts of Côte d’Ivoire to the west and Togo to the east.
Britain occupied the AshantiKingdom in 1896 and annexed it as part of the Gold Coast Colony in 1901.
The AshantiKingdom in Ghana was founded in the seventeenth century by King Osei Tutu I. He was able to do this with the help of his Fetish Priest Okomfo Anokye.
Although located in the heart of the forest, the AshantiKingdom was extended by military and political skill towards the European rulers.
Brave and fearless as she was, she led the men of Ashanti or the “Ashanti Warriors” to fight the British when the Asantehene (Ashanti King), Nana Prempeh I and other important chiefs were captured and sent to the Seychelles island.
