dc.description.abstractDuring the First World War, the warring parties included their colonial possessions in the hostility, either directly or indirectly. In West Africa, the proximity between the colonies of Germany and Britain ultimately made the region a theatre of war. Immediately the war started in Europe in 1914, hostility began between British Nigeria and German Cameroon lasting until 1916 when the Germans were defeated and ousted to the Spanish colony of Muni. This thesis seeks to explore the operational history of the war between British Nigeria and German Cameroon. Notably, the role of the Nigerian soldiers who formed the bulk of the British force facing a “peer-enemy” for the first time. This work will examine their movement from Nigeria to Cameroon, the successful amphibious landing at the Duala harbour, and their involvement in the eventual ousting of the Germans from Cameroon.en_US
