In February 1961, a referendum organized by the United Nations presented British Cameroons with two options: joining the independent Federation of Nigeria or the independent Republic of Cameroun. Despite Southern Cameroons’ desire for self-determination, the United Nations excluded this option, citing economic concerns. As a result, British Northern Cameroons opted to join Nigeria, while British Southern Cameroons chose to join La République du Cameroun.
