Title of Your Paper

Why German empire colonized Cameroon? The growth of German imperialism and

colonialism corresponded with the final stages of the "Scramble for Africa," in which

enterprising German people competed with other already existing colonies and colonialist

enterprises rather than government entities. With the Germans joining the hunt for the last

unexplored territory in Africa and the Pacific that had not yet been divided, competition for

colonies engulfed major European powers as well as some minor powers.

Trading is one of the reasons for invading Germany in Cameroon. Over time, they went

inland, expanding their influence and claims. Their main business was with African traders at

first, but direct trading with the interior promised higher profits. In the 1850s and 1860s, German

traders and merchants began to establish themselves in the African Cameroon delta and the

mainland coast across from Zanzibar as part of the German endeavor and the colonial power was

used to break the monopoly in the Africa. Promoting agricultural plantation is one of the major

economic activities of Germany in Cameroon to provide tropical products for Germany because

of this many farmers died serving German interests because they use force to obtain it.
