Kofi Karikari ( – 1884),〔Cameron Duodu, ("Obituary of Beryl Karikari" ), ''The Guardian'', 5 March 2007.〕 was the ninth King of the Kingdom of Ashanti (King of the Ashanti), grandnephew of Kwaku Dua I, whose sudden death in April 1867 sparked internal strife about the succession. Kofi Karikari was chosen by electoral majority,〔("Kofi Karikari (1937-1884)" ), in Harold E. Raugh, ''The Victorians at War, 1815-1914: An Encyclopedia of British Military History'', ABC-CLIO, 2004, pp. 203-04.〕 reigning from 28 May 1867 until his forced abdication on 26 October 1874.〔T. C. McCaskie, ''State and Society in Pre-Colonial Asante'', Cambridge University Press, 2003, pp. 69-70.〕 A notable achievement of King Asantehene Kofi Karikari was the intentional neglect of the armed forces, a step taken to avoid the escalation of war. A golden trophy head, owned by Kakari, was among many items "pillaged from the royal mausoleum in Kumase by a British 'expedition' in the 1880s, can be found at the Wallace Collection in London".〔 ==See also== *Ashanti people *Rulers of the Kingdom of Ashanti *Kingdom of Ashanti 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kofi Karikari」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
