What year was Cameroon founded and who found it?

Answer 1

Cameroon was founded as a political entity in the late 19th century, with its colonial beginnings marked by German exploration in 1884. The name "Cameroon" originates from the Portuguese word "Rio dos Camarões" (River of Prawns), referring to the Wouri River. The territory later came under French and British control after World War I, shaping its modern boundaries and governance.
