	History of Ghana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ghana was previously called the Gold Coast, but was renamed Ghana upon independence in 1957, because of indications that the inhabitants were descended from migrants who moved south from the ancient Ghana Empire.
		To the north was the Ashanti Confederacy that formed in 1670.
		The first contact with Europeans was made by the Fante nation of the Gold Coast in 1470, when a party of Portuguese landed and met with the King of Elmina.

	Ashanti Invasion of the Gold Coast - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ashanti Invasion of the Gold Coast in 1814-16, also called Ashanti-Akim-Akwapim War was the expansion of West African Kingdom of Ashanti against alliance of Akim and Akwapim tribes.
		In 1814 the Ashanti, under the leadership of Asantehene Osei Bonsu, again defeated the Akim-Akwapim alliance, but when they followed up their victory by pillaging city of Accra, instead of attacking the Europeans, they lost a valuable ally in the Ga people.
		In 1816 the Ashanti advanced into Fante country, capturing and killing the fleeing Akim-Akwapim leaders and they established themselves as overlords of all the region between the Ashanti and the sea.

		The gold plating is generally intact, but there is one split with the underlying copper showing as green verdigris, and the plating is separating from the core at the ends in a couple of places.
		Gold was associated with water (logical, since most of it was found in streams), and it was supposed that gold was a particularly dense combination of water and sunlight.
		Gold, largely imported from the Byzantine world, became scarcer and so the gold used in jewellery was often greatly debased by alloying it with silver.

	B-P's Brother: Sir George Baden-Powell
		The “Gold Coast” was the one part of the African coast which attracted the earliest navigators of Western Europe, because of its gold.
		The consequence was a fresh Ashanti invasion, and they were only beaten off in their attack on Accra by means of the newly introduced war-rockets, which are said to have had a widely spread effect among the natives, who took them to be lightning and thunder in the hands of the white men.
		The second invasion was made; but the result was a terrible military disaster, chiefly due to the undertaking of operations at the wrong season, and the consequent abandonment of the expedition owing to the terrible ravages of sickness among the troops.

		The earliest gold jewellery, which dates from the Sumer civilisation flourishing between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in southern Iraq around 3000 BC was widely worn by both men and women.
		The gold that Spain acquired, however, was at the expense of the great heritage of Pre-Columbian jewellery.
		In Europe it was not until the nineteenth century that the real transformation back to gold jewellery took place, through the combined influence of early mechanisation of such processes as chain-making and the huge increase in gold supplies brought about by the Californian, Australian and South African gold discoveries.

		The supremacy along the coast passed in the 17th century from Portugal to the Netherlands and from the Dutch in the 18th and 19th centuries to France and England.
		The whole coast from Senegal to Lagos was dotted with forts and "factories" of rival powers, and this international patchwork persisted into the 20th century though all the hinterland had become either French or British territory.
		Southward from the mouth of the Congo to the inhospitable region of Damaraland (in what is present-day Namibia), the Portuguese, from 1491 onward, acquired influence over the Bantu inhabitants, and in the early part of the 16th century through their efforts Christianity was largely adopted in the Kongo Empire.
