The Dutch Gold Coast expedition of 1869–1870 followed the resistance of the local Fante people surrounding the forts assigned to the Netherlands in the 1868 forts trade along the Gold Coast with Britain to Dutch rule. Although the Dutch managed to eventually control the situation, the events marked the end of Dutch involvement in the Gold Coast. Without a profit for almost a century, the escalation finally made the political balance shift in favour of the liberal faction, which wanted to sell the colony to Britain, and away from the nationalist faction, which wanted to retain the colony for reasons of national prestige.

  • La spedizione nella Costa d'Oro olandese del 1869-1870 fu il risultato della resistenza mossa dal popolo dei Fante che accerchiò i forti assegnati ai Paesi Bassi a seguito del Trattato anglo-olandese della Costa d'Oro del 1867. Per quanto gli olandesi riuscirono a vincere mantenendo sotto il loro controllo la situazione, questo evento fu tra quelli che segnarono la fine inevitabile del dominio olandese nella Costa d'Oro. Senza ricavi consistenti da più di un secolo, il governo dovette cedere alle richieste dei liberali, vendendo la colonia alla Gran Bretagna al contrario dei nazionalisti che desideravano mantenere il possedimento per questioni di prestigio nazionale.
