The Denkyira and Ashanti warn refers to a series of conflicts that culminated in the Battle of Feyiase in 1701. This decisive battle led to the fall of the Denkyira kingdom and the rise of the Ashanti Empire as the dominant power among the Twi-speaking Akan peoples of what is now modern-day Ghana.

During the battle, the Denkyira army deployed 2 or 3 Dutch cannons, while the Ashanti forces had limited access to firearms. Despite this, the Ashanti, led by Asantehene Osei Tutu, and with the help of the priest Okomfo Anokye, managed to defeat the Denkyira at Feyiase. The Denkyira king, Ntim Gyakari, was killed, and the Ashanti captured Denkyira's cannons.

Before this conflict, the Ashanti were subjects and paid tributes to the Denkyira Kingdom. The victory at Feyiase marked a significant shift in power, with Denkyira becoming a tributary to the newly established Ashanti Empire. The battle and its aftermath were pivotal in the history of the region, influencing the political and social dynamics of the Akan peoples.
