About This Book

This study surveys European contact and the colonization of the Cameroons coast and interior, tracing early maritime discovery and naming, the establishment of trading stations, diplomatic negotiations and treaties that secured colonial claims, and the expansion of administrative and military structures under German rule. It describes inland exploration routes and the gradual mapping of rivers and hinterlands, the interactions between colonial agents, indigenous polities, and rival European powers, and the effects of wartime invasion that disrupted imperial control. Chapters combine historical narrative, travel and exploration reports, and assessments of colonial administration and defense.
