ummm well Ghana got to a point where they were controlling a ton of trade routes, and they used the silent barter, a process in which you trade with out ever directly contacting each other, so nobody knew where the gold mines, and salt mines were and therefore the gold and salt were somewhat rare and Ghana was rich in wealth. so ghanas empire grew from trade/started from those things

∙ 9y agoGhana is on the west coast of Africa. The Ashante that lived in that area had a strong empire for a time. Europeans came and took slaves to the Americas. First the Portuguese came for the gold, later the Dutch and the English came. After the slave trade stopped, the British colonized the area. Gradually the Ghana people became educated in western ways and pushed for self rule. This began in the 1890s. After World War II, there was a Gold Coast Constitution which was still not self rule. By 1956, enough Ghanans pushed for self rule and Great Britain agreed.
