Synopsis
Excerpt from The Ashantee War: Its Causes and Results: A Lecture, Delivered in Hope Hall, Liverpool, April 21st, 1874, at the Request of the Liverpool Peace Society, Isaac B. Cooke, Esq., Vice-President, in the Chair
There is no cause for wonder at this ignorance. To disentomb the reasons for that war from the voluminous blue-books which enshroud them, and the protracted negotiations and blundering by which they are hidden, is a task of no light or pleasant character.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a critical analysis of the causes and consequences of the Ashantee War. It examines the complex history of British involvement on the Gold Coast of Africa from the 16th Century to the eve of the conflict. The author argues that the war was the result of a series of misunderstandings and diplomatic blunders by the British government. He describes the devastating impact that the war had on both sides, and he draws attention to the significant parallels between the Ashantee War and other colonial conflicts of the 19th Century. The book concludes by arguing that the Ashantee War provides a valuable case study of the dangers of imperialism and the importance of international cooperation.
