The Cameroon Campaign (1914-1916)
Manage episode 345137865 series 2875250
Africa is sometimes referred to as a “sideshow” of World War I, but that label is misleading. As with modern Europe, it is impossible to understand modern Africa without understanding it’s experience of WWI. The Cameroon Campaign of 1914-1916 was a campaign fought in West Africa that involved engagements on land as well as a successful amphibious operation. It lasted a mere 18 months, but it continues to have a significant impact today on Nigeria and Cameroon. To discuss the Cameroon Campaign, the World War I Podcast hosted Adeboye Tinubu, a PhD candidate at the University of Calgary and a specialist in the Cameroon Campaign and the Nigerian soldiers who fought in the campaign.
