Úton Kamerun függetlensége felé: az 1945-ös dualai felkelés
On The Way to Cameroon’s Independence: The 1945 Douala Uprising

Summary/Abstract: In September 1945 spontaneous revolts broke out in the port city of Douala. In Cameroon, which was a French mandate territory at the time, social unrest and tensions were rising due to colonial oppression and the social crisis. Because local authorities were unable to keep things under control, policing was taken over by the Europeans, and the number of casualties is unknown to this day. An important factor in the events was the large number of poor people moving into the city from the countryside, which changed the social structure of Douala. The Douala Uprising became an important step on the way to Cameroon’s independence.
