Ewe people
The Ewe are a West African people of south-eastern Ghana, southern Togo and parts of Benin, speaking the Ewe language of the Gbe group. Their traditions trace a migration from Notsie in Togo, after which they formed many small states, such as Anlo. Divided between British and French Togoland after the First World War, they campaigned for unification, but the 1956 plebiscite joined British Togoland to Ghana.
