Africa. It is from Nigeria to the west, Chad to the north of the Central
African Republic in eastern Guinea and Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and the
Republic of the Congo to the south.
While Cameroon is not the largest

The area of present-day Cameroon was
first inhabited during the Neolithic period. Portuguese sailors reached
the coast in 1472. In the following centuries, European interests
regularized trade with the coastal people, and Christian missionaries
pushed inland. In the early 19th Century, Modibo Adama led Fulani
soldiers on a jihad against the peoples of the north and non-Muslims and
Muslims founded the Adamawa Emirate in part. Sedentary populations that
fled the Fulani caused a major redistribution of population.
The
German Reich claimed that the territory of the colony of Cameroon in
1884 and began a steady pressure in the interior. With the defeat of
Germany in World War I, Cameroon became a League of Nations mandate
territory and was split into French Cameroun and British Cameroons in
1919. The French carefully qualified with the Cameroonian economy of
France and an improved infrastructure with investments of capital, labor
and forced labor continue to integrate.
The British administered their territory
from neighboring Nigeria. Aboriginal complained that this made them a
neglected “colony of a colony.” The League of Nations mandates were
implemented by UN trusteeships in 1946, and the question of independence
became a pressing issue in French Cameroun. France banned the most
radical political party, the Union of the Populations of Cameroon (UPC),
13 July 1955. This provoked a long guerrilla war. In British Cameroons,
the question was whether to join the reunification with French Cameroon
and Nigeria.
On 1 January 1960, French Cameroon
gained independence from France under President Ahmadou Ahidjo and 1
October 1961, won the British Northern Cameroon was formerly part of
Nigeria, Cameroon, during the early form of the United British South
