Danish Gold Coast
Danish Gold Coast
Danish Gold Coast shares 27 connections with 1329 places across 6 topics, led by history, government and landmarks. The territory lay in present-day Ghana, and its forts were sold to the United Kingdom in 1850. Shared connections include Denmark, Ghana and the United Kingdom. The Danish West India Company ran trade there and began establishing Caribbean colonies on Saint Thomas, Saint John and Saint Croix. Those Danish possessions became important in the transatlantic slave trade.
