Dodowa Forest is a tourist site attraction at Dodowa in the Shai Osudoku District in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. Katamanso WarThe Ashanti King or Asantehene, Osei Yaw Akoto, furious at the Ga-Adangbe for aiding the fantes in the Asamankow War of 1824, proposed to punish them. He decided he will go after them even if they escape into the belly of "kanfra" (a tiny little flat fish). However he met a coalition of other indigenous forces allied with the Ga-Adangbe under their Monarch King Taki Kome. British, Dutch and Danish forces all together not more than 60, aided in the war with new weapons. The Battle was set and proved to be the greatest battle ever fought in west Africa, as the Ashanti Army fought fearlessly without falling back, rushing through the Dodowa forest like a hurricane, striking fear into the hearts of the allied forces of the southern Gold Coast. But the allied forces fought gallantly and overcame the Ashanti Army with a devastating victory which paralysed the Ashanti Empire and was a factor in the loss of its former glory. The Ahantis stood their position for nine hours (6 a.m.to 3 p.m) The King was made to swear an oath as the "ka ntam (Akan for swear), na su (Akan for cry)" = Corrupted into Katamanso .
