[1] The empire's primary expansion route was eastwards, which made it come into confrontations with various local tribes, in witch most cases got obsorbed or subjegated by the Akwamu.

[1] The initial Akwamu policy appears to be, to achieving control of the trade routes leading from the interior to the coast, which would guarantee a substantial amount of money from tolls.

[2][5] In any case, the Akwamu army was forced to retreat because of the heavy fire dealt by the Danish artillery, and abandon their attack on Osu.

[1] In the same year as the conquest of Ladoku, the Danish garrison at Fort Christiansborg was discontented in a revolt, led by Pieter Bolt.

He mutanied and seized the fort, quickly selling it to the Portuguese governor of St. Tomé, Julião de Campos Barreto.

[1] This resulted in the burning of Little Accra, and Ofori I fled for the second time, now to Afutu, where he was welcomed by the king, Ahen Panyin Ashríve as king-in-exile.

[1] The Danish governor, Magnus Prang, and Ofori both had interests in regaining their Accran possessions, and agreed to afford each other every assistance.

[11] In 1682 the Portuguese garrison revolted and imprisoned Julião de Campos, and the following year the king of Portugal, Afonso VI, ordered the evacuation of the fort.
