Central Africa: By Benjamin

There is a variety of different religions in Central Africa.  Most of them are christian.
The Ashanti believe in many gods.  Local animists long believed in one supreme god until the
Europeans came.  The Europeans made them believe in many gods.  The god they believed in before the Europeans came was Nzambi.  Nzambi is the god of animal spirits.)  The
 Ashanti believe in the kingdom of death.  They believed gods are always present.
  The Ashanti think death is the one great
certainty like the Mexicans.  ”Traditional religion does not require regular attendance
at particular buildings for the Ashanti.”  They payed great attention to burials and
funerals because they thought it was important and they wanted say goodbye to their friends and family.

My second topic is the wars the Ashanti had.  The biggest war they had was the Fante war.  The Ashanti and the Fante were enemies the Fante had British allies and the Ashanti had Dutch allies.  This war started when the Asantehene(the Ashanti’s king) charged some of the Fante people of robing a tomb.  Which to the Ashanti meant a lot.  The Ashanti won by having four groups and suround the Fante until they took the Fante’s king hostage.
