As
the 19th century dawn, imperialism, driven by the industrial revolution in
Europe, landed on the shores of Africa. Many empires, kingdoms, chiefdoms, and
other form of political systems fell one by one to the hand of the Western
Powers. Many of Africans resisted and fought bravely against the invaders. In
South Africa, the Zulus overwhelmed the well-armed and better trained British
forces during the Isandwana. In the area of modern state of Ghana, an Empire
once stood that defended its sovereignty bravely against the British. This was
the Empire of Asante.
