[5]The Katamanso War, also known as the Battle of Dodowa, was a war that several tribes united with the British, fought and prevented Ashantis from dominating the coast in 1826. Numerous tribes in the Gold Coast such as the Fantes, Ga, Akyems, Adas were led by the British army to fight the Ashantis.[6][7] It is classified as one of the "Anglo-Ashanti Wars"[8] according to historical evidence at the National Archives.[7]
