Fante Confederacy
From Warlike
The Fante Confederacy was a powerful alliance of small kingdoms and autonomous city-states in what is now coastal Ghana, united by the Fante people. Centered on the political and spiritual hub of Mankessim, the confederacy emerged in the late 17th century as a major regional force. It expanded through diplomacy, warfare, and trade alliances to incorporate multiple neighboring states and played a decisive role in shaping the Gold Coast's political landscape. At its height, the Fante Confederacy controlled key coastal trade routes and ports such as Anomabo, which became the most important center on the coast.
