abstract
  • European Ghanaians, also referred to as White Ghanaians (Twi Ghana: Nkɔmbɔtwetwe Sakoo Gaana) are Ghanaian citizens of European origin or descent. White Ghanaians are descended from British, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Latin American, Portuguese, or Scandinavians. During Togoland's (what is now the Volta Region of Ghana) short German rule, the colony attracted some German immigrants. Most Germans settled during numerous treks, as Germany gradually extended its control inland. Colonial administrators and settlers brought scientific cultivation to the country's main export crops (cacao, coffee, cotton). The colony’s infrastructure was developed to one of the highest levels in Africa. Because it was one of Germany's two self-supporting colonies, Togoland was acknowledged as a small but treasured possession. This would last until the eruption of World War I. The British area of the former German colony was integrated into Ghana in 1957 following a May 1956 plebiscite where 58% of British-area residents voted in favour of joining Ghana upon its independence, rather than remaining under British-administered trusteeship.
