TOGO AT THE TIME OF WORLD WAR I

In this video, we explore the gripping history of Togo during World War I, a time when colonial powers like Britain, France, and Germany clashed for dominance. As part of the war's global reach, Togo became a battleground despite the European agreement not to engage in conflicts within colonies. Learn how the British and French forces invaded Togo, forcing the small German defense force to fight bravely in battles across Lomé, Atakpamé, and Agbeluhoe. From strategic moves like the destruction of the Kamina Radio Station to the division of Togo between the victors, this historical account sheds light on a critical moment that shaped the nation’s colonial fate.

How Torgo Becomes TogoLand

Welcome to our deep dive into the untold history of how the land once called Torgo evolved into Togoland under German influence. In this episode, we explore the arrival of German missionaries in 1847 and traders in the 1880s, and how they gradually extended their cultural and political reach across EweLand and beyond.

We highlight the instrumental role of Togbe Mlapa III, who, along with other visionary chiefs, welcomed the Germans and signed the Peace and Trade Agreement of 1884. You’ll discover how the missionaries contributed to the development of the Ewe language, education, and Christianity, and how strategic settlements and trade posts were established from the coast deep into the interior — reshaping West African history.

From Peki Blengo to Kpalime, and Gbaga Lake to the Volta River, this video is your gateway to understanding the roots of modern-day Togo.

British Togoland Holds Plebiscite 9 May 1956

On May 9, 1956, British Togoland held a controversial plebiscite under the supervision of the United Nations and the British colonial administration. Voters were asked to decide between joining the Gold Coast (soon to be Ghana) or remaining separate with the possibility of future independence.

This video explores the irregularities, political influence, and foreign involvement that shaped the outcome of this historic vote. From the appointment of non-Togolese officials to the campaigning tactics of the Convention People's Party, we uncover the deeper story of how Western Togoland’s fate was decided — and why the results remain disputed to this day.

PREFACE OF EWELAND | The History Of Togoland

In this powerful documentary-style video, we explore the complex and compelling history of Togoland, a German colony in West Africa whose destiny was shaped by missionaries, colonial ambition, and international conflict.

From the arrival of German missionaries in 1847 to the signing of a trade agreement in Gbaga Torgo, and through the events leading to the partition of Togoland between the British and French — this episode reveals how Togo's name, borders, and identity were forged under colonial rule.

We also examine the role of neighboring powers including the British in the Gold Coast and the French in Dahomey (now Benin), the manipulation behind the plebiscite, and the administrative changes that led to the eventual erasure of British Togoland into the Gold Coast Colony, (now Ghana).
