About Togo
During the 18th and 19th centuries, the area of Togo had the
Ashanti Kingdom to the west (Ghana), and the Kingdom of Dahomey to
the east (Benin).
Countries neighbouring Togo are: Ghana, Burkina Faso and Benin.
The German protectorate of Togoland was established in 1884.
During the first month of World War I (August 1914), French and
British forces invaded the region and forced the Germans to surrender the territory.
In 1920 Lome and the entire coastline, comprising the eastern
two-thirds of the pre-1914 German colony, were assigned to France as French Togo.
The smaller, western section was administered by Britain as part of
the Gold Coast.
French Togoland achieved independence on April 27, 1960, as Togo.
