Cameroon was home to various indigenous kingdoms before European contact. It became a German colony in the late 19th century and was later divided between France and Britain after World War I. Gaining independence in 1960, the country merged its French and British territories into one republic. Cameroon has since faced political tensions but remains a key economic hub in Central Africa, known for its cultural diversity and natural resources.
