Years: 1876 - 1887
The Asante confederation slowly disintegrates as subject territories break away and as protected regions defect to British rule.
The warrior spirit of the nation is not entirely subdued, however, and enforcement of the treaty leads to recurring difficulties and outbreaks of fighting.
In 1896 the British will dispatch another expedition that will again occupy Kumasi and that will force Asante to become a protectorate of the British Crown.
The position of asantehene will be abolished, and the incumbent will be exiled.
