Battle of Adibo (original) (raw)
La bataille d'Adibo est livrée au Ghana le 4 décembre 1896 pendant l'invasion du royaume dagomba par les Allemands, lors de leurs opérations de conquête du Togo. Elle oppose une armée dagomba d'un peu moins de 5 000 hommes à une troupe allemande composée pour majorité d'askaris togolais. Les Dagombas sont durement battus et les envahisseurs s'emparent le lendemain de leur capitale Yendi. Les colonisateurs britanniques et allemands se partagent ensuite le royaume dagomba, dont la partie qui revient aux Allemands est rattachée à leur colonie du Togo.

| dbo:abstract | The Battle of Adibo was a German military campaign in 1896 against the Dagbamba of West Africa in Adibo, now in present-day Ghana. Following their resistance against foreign authority, the Dagbamba tribesmen met and launched an attack on the heavily armed German Schutztruppe and Askari paramilitary police accompanying the Lieutenant on his way to their capital at the village of Adibo, who had been sent by the German colonial administration to quell the rebellion. The Dagbamba fighters suffered significant losses on the second day of the battle and yielded after their capital Yendi was razed to the ground on December 4, 1896. Defeat of the Dagbamba enabled the German Empire to complete establishing the Togoland protectorate, which encompassed the eastern part of the Kingdom of Dagbon. The western part of the Kingdom was released to the British and incorporated into the British Empire. Written accounts of the incursion primarily come from the personal letters and diaries of von Massow to his mother, as well as his official reports addressed to the Governor of Lome under the colonial department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Berlin. Dagbaŋ drummer storytellers maintain a slightly different oral account of the event.
