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).
