Ga-fante WarGa-Fante war in 1811 was a tribal war in African Ashanti Confederacy situated roughly in present day Ghana. It involved series of battles between Asante and their allies, Ga-people of Accra and tribes of Elmina, against alliance of Fanti, Akim and Akwapim tribes. The Asante won the pitched battle, but then had to retreat in the face of the guerrilla tactics used by the Akwapim in the Akwapim Hills, where the Asante had the disadvantage of not knowing the terrain so well. Akwapim, battled also against the Europeans by conquering Dutch fort at Apam and a British one at Tantamkweri. See also
