During World War I, British, French, and Belgian troops invaded the German colony of Kamerun. In 1916, the last German fort surrendered. Through the Treaty of Versailles, it was divided between the British and French. The British Cameroons remained a colony until the formation of the Republic of Cameroon. In 1961, Northern Cameroons, which was predominantly Muslim, united with Nigeria, and Southern Cameroons joined the Federal Republic of Cameroun.<ref>Wikipedia contributors, "British Cameroons," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Cameroons, accessed 15 July 2019.</ref> | |||
