The British, following their defeat of Asante in 1874, proclaim the former coastal protectorate a crown colony as a result of the exercise of ever-expanding judicial powers on the coast and also to ensure that the coastal peoples remain firmly under control.
The Gold Coast Colony, established on July 24, 1874, comprises the coastal areas and extends inland as far as the ill-defined borders of Asante.
