why can't you?

I'm minding my business as you can see. Leave the Ghanaians alone Mr man

gallivant:


Why don't you mind yours?

Like I told you before. I don't talk to pigs? Switch to the gutter were you belong, weirdo

jl115:

They won........ yet became a British protectorate?

Also since we are being Honest the British only sent a couple thousand to Ashanti...... And never mind the fact they were actually preoccupied with a much much much bigger and costlier war at the same time

Asante was never a British protectorate

who will Britain be protecting them from?

They lost the 4th war and Britain Used it to strip them of their kingdom by making them less powerful.

You sound stupid

Do you think a few men can put Kumasi and it 200,000 men army at every war under siege ?


what war was Britain pre occupied with in 1824 or even 1900 when the last Asante British war was fought?

empty heads always like to make noise .

It looks like dirt - nothing appealing. Nobody would travel thousands of kilometers to come to a beach like that. I wonder why West Africa is the only place in the world with such horrible beaches.

You just did, instead of minding your own business.

Ghana was not formed until 1957 when independence was declared

Britain wished it could keep Ghana
Boy go and read history and stop making useless noise.
Britain was even afraid that if it allowed Ghana become a free country, all other countries will start demanding for theirs.

Britain could never have thought of wiping Ghana off the map
Ghanaian were well educated and were mostly taking the empire to court with their own laws.

jl115:
So much noise with so little substance.

Here are the facts:
Ghana was a British protectorate until 1957 when it became a British dominion and only became independent in 1960.

The British voluntarily gave you your independence, you did not fight for it, if the British so wished it could of wiped Ghana from the history books, infact if the British sent more than 600 000 soldiers to Ghana as they did in SA you would not be speaking to me now.

Also the British force that fought the Asantes was outnumbered 10 to 1 yet still managed to conquer them not the other way around as you claim.

Lastly the Zulu kingdom was never entrapped to slavery, in fact even during British colonisation and Apartheid it still exists today... Unlike the ashanti kingdom.

mtisTheQubit:

Vaxx you did not fight anyone..countries which fought for independence are know..looting stores is not a fight..the British just got bored an left..just ask Ethiopians how war is fought. .or kenya maumaus. ..

yet British Lords were so worried during parliamentary sections about the Anglo- Asantes war such that they had to procure ships loads of armies from India and Hausa lands.


Britain never got bored and left anywhere in West Africa.

especially when they were making more money from their trade with West Africa than anywhere else in Africa.

Did they stop teaching History in SA
because that is the only way you will become this stupid.

jl115:

It's sad that you don't even know your own countries history.

The facts:
Ghana became a British dominion in 1957 and a Republic in 1960.....if you don't believe me...... Well Google is your friend!!

The entire Ghana was under British control, not just the gold Coast and Ghana's independence was not won because of a few riots. During the mid 40s and 50s pro decolonization sentiment was growing within the British empire, it was thus decided to give independence to almost all of its colonies hence most of the African colonies gained independence more or less at the same time...... a few riots in Ghana certainly never had a big impact on their decision to decolonise.

The British army had better weapons yes but were far outnumbered by the Asantes, unlike in South Africa where they needed an army of 600 000, concentration camps, scotch earth policies and billions of pounds to defeat a few farmers numbering around 50 000.

The Ashanti kingdom was a protectorate until 1957 just like the Zulu kingdom was until 1960, also the Zulus were never enslaved as you wrongfully claimed and are still ruled by king Goodwill Zwelithini today.

mtisTheQubit:

So at theend ya got colonised. ..what the difference BTW ths an ghana situation

Look the only country not colonised in africa was Ethiopia. .they went to war an won..fact

Technically speaking all African countries that faced the British empire were colonised, however this wasn't my argument.

Vaxx1 claimed that the British were beaten mercilessly by the Asantes ..... It's true yes that the Asantes did win a few battles however the British force was outnumbered 10 - 1 yet still conquered them in the end, if the Ashanti empire had to face half a million British soldiers then the likes of Vax and Just 30 would not be talking to you and me today, I find it funny when African countries boast about defeating the British in one or 2 battles but forget that the British barley spent a drop of recourses on them yet still defeated them.

the British never needed to spend great amounts of resources or men to colonise African country bar for the South African Republic, which acquired the full might of the British empire and was the most expensive war that the British ever had up till then(it nearly bankrupted the country)

There was a formal declaration of war for both the first(which the ZAR won) and second(which the British won) Boer wars.....there was no formal declaration of war(I could be wrong) for any other anglo conflict in Africa.

It was the only war in Africa which British casualties outnumbered(and by far I might add) that of its enemy, the British also needed 600 000 troops to defeat the 2 Boer Republics,....... A massive amount even by todays standards.

So far only 2 states in Africa have ever faced the full might of the British empire and have been successful at some extent and that was the South-African Republic and the orange freestate

The British gifted your independence just like it gifted the independence of the rest of Africa, the colonisation and decolonisation of Ghana is no different than any other African country.

You are right about one thing though; the ANC never holds criminals accountable, they started in 94 when they didn't prosecute mass murderers,rapists and looters. stronger together kinda things

Southy vs Southy.. ths thread is weird...

anyway, i was the one who said Britain was beaten mercilessly

And i wasnt just making a claim but stating facts.

The British army was beaten and their Governor beheaded
Queen Elizabeth nephew lost his life in won of those Aglo Asante wars which angered them such that they brought in two times the Asante army to avenge their death in a different war 20 to 30 years later.

The Brits themselves mention those wars as the only wars they lost to an African Kingdom on three occasions

-Bro the Ashanti kingdom was a British protectorate from 1901 till 1957.....don't know what history they teach you in Ghana but that is the fact of the matter....

- yes they had Rifles and it would certainly not take more than a couple thousand of Rifle carrying men to besiege 200 000 spear carrying Asantes.

- They were actually preoccupied by the actual expansion of their empire including the much bigger and expensive Anglo-Burmese war to name a few....... And in 1900 they were definitely more preoccupied by the biggest and most expensive war in the British Empires history at that time, which needed 600 000 troops and resulted in over 40 000 British deaths.

The Asantes fought but a drop in the ocean of the British Empire which didn't even formally declare war on the Ashanti kingdom... .... Yet still lost.

If the British wanted to they could've sent over half a million soldiers like they did against the South African Republic and wiped the Asantes from the history books.

yes

Britain was afraid of letting Ghana become an independent country
If not for their fears, Ghana would have been independent before 1957.

Anyway, this conversation was not about independence.


Britain did not gift the first country in sub saharan africa that got independent it's independence
The Ghana story is way different from all of you, Britain could not stay, especially when it was time.
