EXTRACT I
many ways Nachtigal was the personal envoy of the two Great German Commercial Houses operating along the Cameroon coast, since he was instructed…to claim for Germany whatever land the agents of the two German firms had acquired already or would acquire…
Two documents were signed at the time. The first was an expression of the wishes of the local chiefs… [Any contrary action to] this document was important as far as later developments were concerned. The second document was the 5 treaty between the Germans and the kings. Sovereignty over the land was given to the German traders under certain conditions…”
EXTRACT II
“When local Douala kings agreed to hand over their sovereignty to the Germans…the Cameroon…coastal strip…became a German colony. The Baptists at Victoria were replaced…and the capital was [later]
established at Buea. Almost immediately, the Germans began to regret their promises to the Douala 10
kings…The Germans independently began to explore the interior in order to see for themselves where
the…goods were coming from and from this time on hostilities with the …chiefs became inevitable…”
EXTRACT III
“German rule came to a swift end…when the circumstances of the First World War meant the defeat and expulsion of the Germans from Cameroon. The capitulation of the German garrison…marked the end of the German Kamerun
Protectorate. Cameroon was provisionally divided…but boundary adjustments were later made in an agreement signed 15 on 10 July 1919.”
