The Battle of Feyiase: Ghana's Decisive Asante Defeat in 1900

In this episode, we revisit the 1900 Yaa Asantewaa War, but instead of retelling the siege of Kumasi, we focus on its forgotten climax: the Battle of Feyiase. After months of British occupation, Asante forces under Yaa Asantewaa and other leaders attempted a final assault on the fort. The battle on September 30, 1900, near the village of Feyiase, saw coordinated attacks by Asante warriors armed with Dane guns against British Maxim guns and artillery. We explore the tactics, the command structure, and the aftermath—how this defeat led to the exile of Yaa Asantewaa and the formal annexation of Asante into the Gold Coast colony. We also discuss the controversial role of Asante collaborators, the impact on the Golden Stool, and how the battle is remembered today in Ghanaian history. #BattleOfFeyiase #YaaAsantewaa #AsanteEmpire #GoldCoast #BritishColonialism #MaximGun #DaneGun #Kumasi #Ejisu #GhanaHistory #WestAfrica #1900 #Decolonization #MilitaryHistory #Resistance #FexingoHistory #History #AsanteWars Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
