Answer:

By 1901, British had established a colony incorporating all of the Gold Coast, with its kingdoms and tribes considered a single unit. ... By 1956, British Togoland, the Ashanti protectorate, and the Fante protectorate were merged with the Gold Coast to create one colony, which became known as the Gold Coast.
