The Xhosa Wars (also known as the Cape Frontier Wars or the Kaffir Wars [1]) were a series of nine wars (from 1779 to 1879) between the Xhosa Kingdom and the British Empire as well as Trekboers in what is now the Eastern Cape in South Africa. These events were the longest-running military action in the history of European colonialism in Africa.
Facts brother, just when I was to comment about the Frontier Wars. They last for a century and the invaders only defeated us in the 10th battle or so. I'm quite surprised it doesn't get much coverage like the Zulu defeat of the British.
The Brits and Boers are too ambarrest to mention the Xhosa frontier wars , even Jacob Zuma asked once if people knew that the Xhosas defeated the Colonialist 8 times in longlasting wars. Can you imagine them talking about their defeat no way because the wrote the History.
In the book " The Black Jacobins", it is stated that the British Historian Fortesque reported that Britain's greatest defeat before the battle of the Somme, was in Haiti. It would be interesting to hear more about this defeat.
Historian John Henrik Clarke spoke on that event, the Zulus vs the Brits. In my opinion their as-related movie is yet another instance of the pc colonizer's version of what happened vs what really happened. I would love to hear the actual Zulu version of what truly happened.
Thank you so much for shedding light on this event in such a clear and well referenced way. Stories of African Kingdom's success against the colonialists are often suppressed and hard to find but there were many. This information is very important for those of African descent to look upon their past with pride but also for the rest of the world to recognise Africa's greatness and reverse the narrative of Africans being inferior and contributing nothing to world culture.

Without a doubt, Nana Harriet Tubman was an ancestor. Her facial structure, her stern demeanor, even how she wore her headwrap in the triangle fold like how women in my ethnic group. From her photos, she has an aura that is very much like our female elders. There is an Asante proverb that goes "A good nose does not speak." The saying means that one should be a doer, not a gossiper. It also references the classic Asante nose, search the gold mask of king Nana Kofi Karikari.
I am a huge fan of the history of the Anglo Asante Wars. I have never heard the part about the ammunition being switched for macaroni. Who put that there? Did the Fante betray the British? Thx
He said they where scarred of the gunfire but who knows that could just be British propaganda becauae he also said the troops where locally raised so i would assume the where Kante themselves. They runners probably stole the valuble ammunition for themselves. He also said the Kante invited the British to be their protectors, so again I wonder if that is just British propaganda. Julius Ceazer used the same tactic to divide and conquer the celts by claiming one tribe asked him for protection from another.
@Stehfree Jesseah there is a good podcast called the History of Africa that talks about the wars in detail. It states that Fante armies tried to explain to British that they had to inoculate their soldiers but germ theory wasn't an agreed upon science yet so the Brits dismissed the idea. They became overrun with disease. It's crazy how much they teach us vs how much actually happened.
@@xennialsavants8226 What do you mean they? I learned in middle school that the US used blankets from small pocs patients to trade to the natives in the US which caused massive disease amongst the uninoculated natives. This was around the same time as the Shanti wars. So if the US gov knew at the time I bet the British did as well.
Africans have always been the best fighters. In America, blacks turned the tide of the civil war, in WW 2, the black air force squadron was the best performing one. As long as they've had competent equipment, they've always been fine. The problem was by the 1800s the technological difference became too great.
"In WW2 the black air force squadron was the best performing one" Who on earth told you that? The German Luftwaffe and British Royal Air Force squadrons performed better and during a tougher part of the war when the opposition was at its highest peak. By the time black American squadrons were in action the enemy had lower standards of pilots with less training. The highest standard of air battle in the war was probably the Battle of Britain in 1940.
@@lyndoncmp5751 From an American's perspective they were, not European, because the Americans joined much later. One squadron didn't even lose a single plane.
The bigger - and inconvenient question - is why subjugated Americans of African ancestry were so brainwashed as to even want to fight for their oppressors? I'm not the first to pose this question... John Ford's 1960 Western movie entitled Sergeant Rutledge, is set in 1881, but it's pointedly about American life at the time it was made. In an _Epic_ scene, A dying Black Calvary soldier states: *We are fools to fight the white man's war.* It can be argued that there is no honor nor pride in fighting and dying for a society that will always hate you.
I appreciate these lesser known histories. Hell, I appreciate the existence of all the indigenous peoples of the world who are still living the hunter-gatherer lifestyle.
I wasn't directly referring to the Ashanti. I just meant all the tribes contacted and uncontacted who have not been forcefully assimilated by their government.
I was just in Kumassi a couple of weeks ago. What a story!! , I was told to pronounce them as Assante, not Ashante. The Brtish pronounce it as Ashanti...
I have always said this if Africa in those times were more technological advance than they would have been more victories. Even with what they had as far as weapons used in the battles they still came out on top.
It wasn't really a matter of being technologically advanced, we were just too divided. You see how easy it was for the British to get the Fanti to go against the Ashanti. Europeans needed the help of Africans to take down Africa and they used our cultural differences to do so. Had we been a bit more unified the outcome would've been in our favor.
They were. The Asantes made it a point to always procure the latest guns from Europe. They mainly bought from the Portuguese. They eventually lost to the British because they hadn't got access to the newest tech, Maxim Guns. So the British easily overpowered them

Technically this is an accomplishment, given the clear technological disadvantage the Ashanti had during the skirmish. It's hard to avoid conflict with Europeans, as those interactions are the most well recorded.

Their relationship was like any other on the corners of our planet. They fought, conquered and sold each other as slaves to the European traders until it was abolished when they all became a protectorate of the British Empire.
The Fantes sold us out! They exchanged that for subservience to the Brits. They gained in missionary schools that only ended up brainwashing the African elites.
@@Kojoisfit Stop lying. Remember the battle of Kromanti by the Fanti where the junior royal son was convinced by the Dutch militia. All the strong war prisoners were rounded up by the Dutch as slaves. The British took sides in tribal wars to acquire strong prisoners of war as slaves. The weaker kingdoms were just glad their enemies were gone. European Militias didn’t buy anybody. They raided and took sides in local wars to acquire slaves. Again Europeans had nothing wealth exchange ( note: this was before the industrial Revolution)! The European currencies: Sterling pound,Deutschmark,Guilders, peso, Kronor, Franc & dollar were of no use to Africans. Again Africans had all the gold! Right Wingers are embarrassed by events they weren’t alive to worry about! Just the shame that our ancestors were pirates, uninvited invaders that they preach about nowadays!

They planned the attacked on the funeral performance day of one of the wives of the king that first defeated them. They attacked and succeeded and made the informer the king. Blackman kills Blackman. But later they were wars they made them leave Dagbon for good. They are remains of their tombs and so on in Yendi.
I wont lie this made me laugh especially when they played God save the king but still Got defeated!😂😂😂 & the macarroni box was it to celebrate / just eat or was it because they believed they didnt need more guns to fight Ashantis?
Only 9? That is a complete lie. Am sure a white person wrote that story to make them look good like they always do when they write on africa. Also remember the war was a 100 year war.
I think the first victory by native Africans over foreign invaders was when the Chita Hulu landed on earth and that African warrior cut off their leader's whatever. Check out Credo Mutwa
The original people of Britain are today's Black Americans. Black Americans are the original Europeans. But they weren't called"Black Americans" at that time. Black Americans Built Europe. Just like Black Americans built America. Simple

They were gold merchants. South, Central and Western Africans got into the gold trade South of Egypt and Northern Sudan and Eastern Ethiopia only thru trade with Islamic merchants or conversion to Islam. There was no African gold or silver trade or industry outside of Abysinnia or Egypt or MoroccanBerber.
It's actually the Asante Kingdom since the colonists called us "Ashanti". The Asante warrior commander for the war discussed in this video was Nana Amanketia. There is an old song that celebrates his victory and valor.
It would be a mistake especially for African Americans to view the story in terms of Black and White. The Ashanti had become wealthy powerful and well-armed from facilitating the transatlantic slave trade. And yes just like German civilians in the Nazi period knew what was happening to their Jewish neighbors, the Ashanti knew exactly what was happening to the other Africans they were selling into slavery. This is a reason why African Americans should never ever wear kente cloth. The British governor they defeated was anti slavery and the Ashanti king was pro slavery. Africa is not one place it is different nations peoples cultures and languages just like Europe and Asia. Europeans enslaved each other. The same is true for Africa. The Ashanti fought British soldiers with guns they bought with wealth made from the transatlantic slave trade.
@Infamousmade Nothing you wrote refutes the facts my point . The Ashanti fought the British to defend their own interests, including the wealth the Ashanti Kings gained from the transatlantic slave trade. These are facts. Our modern POV of African Diaspora did not exist at that time.
@@marcp6405 where did you get your so called facts from ? From the white man i guess. According to African history Asante people interest was to prevent the white people from entering the coast to get on the land.but because the Asantes are not based around the coast but rather inland ,the whites where able to deceive the coastal people and get on land. This is over a period of almost 400 years history. Danish, Portugese, Dutch, and British all came to the Gold Coast during this period, it is the British that stayed till the independence. Initially the whites pretended that their interest was only the gold, the bible, and alcohol, trading, later when Europe needed workers for their plantations and countries to build it up , thats wen they started kidnapping Africans. That is how they started slave trade
The Ashanti fought the war to maintain ther sovereignty per the treaty they signed with Joseph Dupuis in 1820. The Ashanti were into slavery whiles the British weren't anymore. However, when the British proclaimed they won't buy slaves anymore, the Ashanti understood as its economy wasn't dependent on the Atlantic Slave Trade. Asantehene Osei Bonsu even signed a treaty in 1820 with recognition to this proclamation. However, the treaty ensured that Ashanti's jurisdiction over the coast would be honored. Unfortunately, the British failed to respect the treaty causing a breakdown to the war.
"This is why African Ameriacans should never ever wear Kente cloth." This is a bad example. Kente was simply a cloth that was worn by everyone from babies to leaders. Kente was worn by people who didn't engage in the slave trade. It was also worn by people who were even sold as slaves themselves. Your take on Kente is so vague. It's like saying African Americans should stop speaking English because the British took part on the Atlantic Slave Trade.
Was that from the pre-colonial or colonial Era? So why would he feature that on this channel. In any case, the Belgians, French, and other Europeans are still culpable for what led to and caused the Civil War in Rwanda.
A civil war ensued between the sellouts and the patriots. Ashanti lands were the last to behold European missionary schools because they never trusted the Europeans.
The cherry picking on this channel is over the top , like what many do with the romans , an empire that last centuries and win most of the battles but just bring the loses like romans where idiots

All we want is for those men who date outside their race is to leave us out of the equation. We are not mad that you want who you want. It’s that simple don’t use us as your reason why… own up to what you want and just say that’s what you 👍🏽 like 😊
I drink from mine enemies golden goblet skull
As far as I’m concerned that impetuous Governor got what he asked for, gold and infamy.
Hotep the power of unity Amani Umoja 🖤💚❤️✌🏾✊🏿
Sabaton should do a song about this. Love your channel bro.
I love the channel but.. I do wish that it focused less on colonization and conflict with Europeans. I come to this channel for lessons on our ancestors accomplishments and history. Being reminded of thier slaughter is a bit depressing.
If you choose to stay in the dark, then you're truly lost
Technically this is an accomplishment, given the clear technological disadvantage the Ashanti had during the skirmish. It's hard to avoid conflict with Europeans, as those interactions are the most well recorded.
@@thevisitor1012 Europeans Ah Yes, im sure the Ashanti had many conflicts with their main ally, the Netherlands, or lets just say they made a fortune from the slave trade
@@thevisitor1012 the Ashanti lost the war tho. And they only defeated the British in that one battle because they ran out of ammo. They only won one battle and that's all.
@@xtraprebel6274 we defeated the British multiple times they needed help from several of our enemy tribes and even from outside the continent before they can subdue us even when they did we still ran our own shit and weren’t under them frfr don’t let them lie to u they didn’t run out of any ammunition they lost fair and square
Another war story that Hollywood migbt be tempted to Woman King-ize foolishly, lol.
Great 👍👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Pls, make a video about the Ekumeku Movement🙏🏿
So the Fante asked for the British to come in and protect them? 🤔 I wonder what kind of relationship they had before this.
Their relationship was like any other on the corners of our planet. They fought, conquered and sold each other as slaves to the European traders until it was abolished when they all became a protectorate of the British Empire.
@@Kojoisfit the animosity between fanti and Ashanti was instigated by the Europeans! The orchestrated all this through division and conquest!
The Fantes sold us out! They exchanged that for subservience to the Brits. They gained in missionary schools that only ended up brainwashing the African elites.
@@Kojoisfit Stop lying. Remember the battle of Kromanti by the Fanti where the junior royal son was convinced by the Dutch militia. All the strong war prisoners were rounded up by the Dutch as slaves. The British took sides in tribal wars to acquire strong prisoners of war as slaves. The weaker kingdoms were just glad their enemies were gone. European Militias didn’t buy anybody. They raided and took sides in local wars to acquire slaves. Again Europeans had nothing wealth exchange ( note: this was before the industrial Revolution)! The European currencies: Sterling pound,Deutschmark,Guilders, peso, Kronor, Franc & dollar were of no use to Africans. Again Africans had all the gold!
Right Wingers are embarrassed by events they weren’t alive to worry about! Just the shame that our ancestors were pirates, uninvited invaders that they preach about nowadays!
The Mole Dagbon kingdom under Yaa Naa andani Nanigoe defeated Germans in the battle of Adiboo,He beat them to out of Ghana,He is the main cause German deserted their western Togo land colony.
After his death
Two years later the sons of the king fought due to the namship of the overlord-so one of them went to Togo a town called sansanmongo” the son went and told them that the king who defeated them passed years ago and He need the Germans help to come and help defeat some of his sons so that he can be made king and gave Germans the chance to make Yendi their capital.
They planned the attacked on the funeral performance day of one of the wives of the king that first defeated them.
They attacked and succeeded and made the informer the king.
Blackman kills Blackman.
But later they were wars they made them leave Dagbon for good.
They are remains of their tombs and so on in Yendi.
The British eventually won that war, the boere defeated the British and Zulu too... 😂😂😂
No they didn't how did the British win the war? Ghana gain independence like a year after the British won
How the hell did Africans get horses?
*West Africans are very dominant in Africa*
Did the Egyptians not make the sphinx?
I wont lie this made me laugh especially when they played God save the king but still Got defeated!😂😂😂 & the macarroni box was it to celebrate / just eat or was it because they believed they didnt need more guns to fight Ashantis?
💪🏿🤴🏿✊🏿
Happy Black History Month Fam✊🏿. This would be a good video for my family. We love to hear of victories of our beautiful melanated peoples.
Only 9 british officers died. I was expecting to hear thousands.
The Hatian revolution was a serious war They defeated 3 European nations.
Only 9? That is a complete lie. Am sure a white person wrote that story to make them look good like they always do when they write on africa. Also remember the war was a 100 year war.
@@flavorsofthecontinent7195 this story was about a particular battle. So the numbers refer to this battle alone. The numbers are wrong?
I think the first victory by native Africans over foreign invaders was when the Chita Hulu landed on earth and that African warrior cut off their leader's whatever. Check out Credo Mutwa
The original people of Britain are today's Black Americans. Black Americans are the original Europeans. But they weren't called"Black Americans" at that time. Black Americans Built Europe. Just like Black Americans built America. Simple
Macaroni???
😉
Been knew this, just happy my peoples is gaining knowledge we the greatest and the time is drawing near we getting back together cause this how we really lost everything from not staying United. What’s the point of making money just to live in hell
maybe you should research the ekumekwu war, it was the igbos against the british for 30 years.. the british lost
These were Moslems!
Just like the British were fighting the Sudanese Moslems in "Four Feathers" in the same Century.
They weren’t Muslims
They were gold merchants. South, Central and Western Africans got into the gold trade South of Egypt and Northern Sudan and Eastern Ethiopia only thru trade with Islamic merchants or conversion to Islam.
There was no African gold or silver trade or industry outside of Abysinnia or Egypt or MoroccanBerber.
Who commanded the Ashanti kingdom in that battle?
It's actually the Asante Kingdom since the colonists called us "Ashanti". The Asante warrior commander for the war discussed in this video was Nana Amanketia. There is an old song that celebrates his victory and valor.
Amankwatia the chief of Bantama .. my direct ancestor ..
It would be a mistake especially for African Americans to view the story in terms of Black and White. The Ashanti had become wealthy powerful and well-armed from facilitating the transatlantic slave trade. And yes just like German civilians in the Nazi period knew what was happening to their Jewish neighbors, the Ashanti knew exactly what was happening to the other Africans they were selling into slavery. This is a reason why African Americans should never ever wear kente cloth. The British governor they defeated was anti slavery and the Ashanti king was pro slavery. Africa is not one place it is different nations peoples cultures and languages just like Europe and Asia. Europeans enslaved each other. The same is true for Africa. The Ashanti fought British soldiers with guns they bought with wealth made from the transatlantic slave trade.
Go and read ur history again
Ashanti’s fought the British because they fear colonization and imperialism!
Go away with ur lies!!
@Infamousmade Nothing you wrote refutes the facts my point . The Ashanti fought the British to defend their own interests, including the wealth the Ashanti Kings gained from the transatlantic slave trade. These are facts. Our modern POV of African Diaspora did not exist at that time.
@@marcp6405 where did you get your so called facts from ? From the white man i guess. According to African history Asante people interest was to prevent the white people from entering the coast to get on the land.but because the Asantes are not based around the coast but rather inland ,the whites where able to deceive the coastal people and get on land. This is over a period of almost 400 years history. Danish, Portugese, Dutch, and British all came to the Gold Coast during this period, it is the British that stayed till the independence. Initially the whites pretended that their interest was only the gold, the bible, and alcohol, trading, later when Europe needed workers for their plantations and countries to build it up , thats wen they started kidnapping Africans. That is how they started slave trade
The Ashanti fought the war to maintain ther sovereignty per the treaty they signed with Joseph Dupuis in 1820. The Ashanti were into slavery whiles the British weren't anymore. However, when the British proclaimed they won't buy slaves anymore, the Ashanti understood as its economy wasn't dependent on the Atlantic Slave Trade. Asantehene Osei Bonsu even signed a treaty in 1820 with recognition to this proclamation. However, the treaty ensured that Ashanti's jurisdiction over the coast would be honored. Unfortunately, the British failed to respect the treaty causing a breakdown to the war.
"This is why African Ameriacans should never ever wear Kente cloth."
This is a bad example. Kente was simply a cloth that was worn by everyone from babies to leaders. Kente was worn by people who didn't engage in the slave trade. It was also worn by people who were even sold as slaves themselves. Your take on Kente is so vague. It's like saying African Americans should stop speaking English because the British took part on the Atlantic Slave Trade.

Now tell us about the stunning and brave Hutu and Tutsi behaviour in the Rwandan civil war or have you memory holed that one … 🤔
Was that from the pre-colonial or colonial Era? So why would he feature that on this channel. In any case, the Belgians, French, and other Europeans are still culpable for what led to and caused the Civil War in Rwanda.
Ashante joined the British Traders
A civil war ensued between the sellouts and the patriots. Ashanti lands were the last to behold European missionary schools because they never trusted the Europeans.
The cherry picking on this channel is over the top , like what many do with the romans , an empire that last centuries and win most of the battles but just bring the loses like romans where idiots
the conflict with Europeans where documented in our modern history format, since Home Team is academically based, only accredited sources can be used to relay our past.
I say keep up the good work @home team history
The bottom line is these folks are speaking English today, living by English judiciary/laws and using English inventions/scientific advances etc.
@@lyndoncmp5751 If only your folks would also admit that the Ancient Egyptians who were black Africans civilized them. According to Champollion who deciphered the hieroglyphics, the Europeans of the era did not cut it. They were at the bottom of society. Your ascendancy started out of African civilizations, but your racism has clouded your mind to falsify history to make you appear supreme.
@@yawos9024
Racism? What racism? I don't bitch and whine about Africans. I have nothing against them. I've never once slated Egyptians.
However, people who slate the British yet enjoy the benefits of Britain are hypocrites.
@@lyndoncmp5751 their lack of self-awareness is astounding isn't it?
Meanwhile, today you’re speaking a White Man’s language using a White Man’s UA-cam platform. Long live Wakunda.
You're that butthurt? About British men dying at the hands of Africans?
How is UA-cam a white man platform? UA-cam CEOs most likely ain't white probably Arab, Indians, or even black.
Yeah I was right the CEO of UA-cam is not white 😂😂 nah UA-cam isn't a "white man platform" 😂😂 that sounds so elementary you whites aren't even as intelligent you claim to be 😂😂
They Say that the Ashanti and lemba tribes descend from the 12 tribes of Israel. Which would make sense why whyte people wanted them dead...😵. Part of the curses would to be hunted and hated on all scattered into captivity into all nations.
