Before the appearance of Europeans, Ghana was the location of the Ashanti, an amazing tribe in the region. The region had a bounty of natural resources, including gold and ivory, which attracted the consideration of colonists.
While the Portuguese had been the first to set up a settlement in the region, the attractiveness of the local wealth prompted a battle for control between numerous European countries. In 1874, Britain took control over parts of the nation, naming them the British Gold Coast.
Debilitated by the efforts of World War II, Britain had started the way toward diminishing its colonies around the world, including those in Africa.
