Sagbadre War

North Atlantic Africa Asia Caribbean The Sagbadre War was a brief punitive expedition carried out by Denmark-Norway and its native allies against the Anlo Ewe.

[3][4] The Ada-Danish Alliance opened the campaign by sailing along the Volta River on war canoes mounted with Dane guns.

The treaty returned territory Anlo had previously acquired from all allied tribes and secured a Danish-Norwegian trade monopoly as well as the construction of Fort Prinzenstein.

The warriors of Little Popo guarded the fort's construction, and Prince Ofoly Bussum received a monthly sum from it thereafter.
