The British sphere of influence is eventually extended to include Asante.

Following the defeat of Asante in 1896, the British proclaim a protectorate over the kingdom.

Once the asantehene and his council have been exiled, the British appoint a resident commissioner to Asante, who is given both civil and criminal jurisdiction over the territories.

Each Asante state is administered from Kumasi as a separate entity and is ultimately responsible to the governor of the Gold Coast.

Asante will become a colony following its final defeat in 1901.
