Cameroon was colonized in the late 19th century, with the Germans establishing their control over the region in 1884. Following Germany's defeat in World War I, Cameroon was divided between France and the United Kingdom in 1919, leading to a mandate system that lasted until the mid-20th century. The French-controlled portion gained independence in 1960, followed by the British southern part in 1961.
