Top Revision Tips for This Section

• Mind the Timeline: Notice how world conflicts directly drove changes at home. For example, understanding the global shift after WWII (Question 12) explains why the nationalist push grew stronger in places like French Cameroon (Question 9).

• Spot the Tricky Words: For Question 2, make sure to read carefully! It asks for the decision that was NOT taken. Eliminating the actual resolutions of the Mamfe Conference will lead you straight to the right answer.
