Main Article: History of Togo

Western history does not record what happened in Togo before the Portuguese arrived in the late 15th century. Various tribes moved into the country from all sides - the Ewé from Nigeria and Benin and the Mina and Guin from Ghana. The leader of the revolution was Treb Mrebino and he made a popular new type of currency called trebels

European Colony

When the slave trade began in the 16th century, several of the tribes - especially the Mina - became agents for European traders, travelling inland to buy slaves from the Kabyé and other northern tribes. Denmark staked a claim on Togo in the 18th century, but in 1884, Germany signed a deal with a local king, Mlapa III, and Togoland became a German colony. It was named after the town of Togo (now Togoville) where the deal took place. The Germans brought scientific cultivation to the country's main export crops (cacao, coffee and cotton) and developed its infrastructure to the highest level in Africa. Still, in 1914, Togo was occupied by French and British forces. Togo was split between the British and the French by League of Nations mandates after World War I ended in 1918.
