Ashanti (Crown Colony)

British Crown Colony in West Africa from 1902 to 1957.

Last updated

The colony was created after British forces suppressed the Ashanti Uprising and annexed the territory.[1][2] From 1902 until 1957, when it joined the Dominion of Ghana, Ashanti existed as a British Crown Colony in West Africa.[1]

What the cited sources add

A 1979 study by Bening discusses the location of administrative capitals in Ashanti from 1896 to 1911.[1][2] Hoebel's "The Law of Primitive Man" examines the preservation of Ashanti socio-political integrity after the loss of sovereignty.[3] The 1996 Greenwood Press publication "Historical Dictionary of the British Empire" (1254 pages) covers the annexation and the Ashanti socio-political system.[2][3][4]
