End of the Second Anglo-Ashanti War

The Second Anglo-Ashanti War ended in 1864 as a stalemate, with sickness causing more casualties than combat for both sides.

The conflict concluded in 1864 without a formal treaty or decisive victory. Both the Ashanti Empire and British forces suffered significant losses primarily due to sickness, which was the leading cause of death. This stalemate marked the end of the second war in the series of Anglo-Ashanti conflicts.
