The War of the Golden Stool, also known as the Yaa Asantewaa War, the Third Ashanti Expedition or the Ashanti Uprising, was a campaign in 1900 during the series of conflicts between the United Kingdom and the Ashanti Empire, an autonomous state in West Africa that had fractiously co-existed with the British and its vassal coastal tribes. After several prior wars with British troops, Ashanti was occupied by British troops in January 1896, and in 1900 the Ashanti staged an uprising. The British suppressed the revolt and captured the city of Kumasi, and Ashanti's traditional king, the Asantehene, and his counselors were deported. The outcome was the annexation of Ashanti as a British Crown Colony, so that Ashanti lost its sovereignty but not the essential integrity of its own socio-political system.
