Prior to European colonization, the Ashanti people developed a large and influential empire in West Africa. Around the 13th century AD, Akan peoples migrated into the forest belt of present-day Ghana and established small states in the hilly country around present-day Kumasi. During the height of the Mali Empire the Ashanti, and Akan people in general, became wealthy through the trading of gold mined from their territory. Early in Ashanti history, this gold was traded with the greater Ghana and Mali Empires. Ghana and Mali traded the gold with North Africans who minted the gold.
The Ashanti later developed the powerful Ashanti Confederacy and became the dominant presence in the region. Ashanti was one of the few African states able to offer serious resistance to European colonizers. Between 1826 and 1896, Britain fought four wars against the Ashanti kings (the Anglo-Ashanti Wars). In 1900, the British finally defeated the kingdom and renamed it the Gold Coast colony.
