The Third Anglo-Ashanti War occurred from 1873 to 1874. British General Garnet Wolseley led 2,500 British troops and several thousand Indian and African troops against the Ashanti Empire.

For the first time the British decided to defeat and destroy the Ashanti Empire.

Helped by better trained soldiers, the introduction of quinine (which helped protect against disease), and the new maxim gun (machine gun) which gave the British forces a significant technological advantage over the Ashanti Army, the British defeated the Ashanti in the Battle of Amoaful on January 31, 1873.

The Ashanti capital of Kumasi was briefly occupied by the British and then burned.

The war ended in July 1874 when the Ashanti signed the Treaty of Fomena.
