When the German forces were ousted from Cameroon in early 1916, they fled south to neutral Spanish Guinea. Tens of thousands of Cameroonians joined them. Over 20,000 African soldiers and hangers-on were eventually accommodated by the Spanish authorities on the island Fernando Po, off the Cameroonian coast. Despite mounting Allied pressure on Spain to disband and repatriate the troops, they remained on the island until after armistice. They were largely under German control, and received military training during their internment. The delayed repatriation of Cameroonian soldiers, in 1919, had a pronounced effect on their communities at home.

喀麦隆Schutztruppe士兵在西班牙统治费尔南多宝第一次世界大战期间：A“威胁到和平”？^1个

1916年初德军从喀麦隆被赶下台时，他们向南逃往中立的西班牙几内亚。成千上万的喀麦隆人加入了他们的行列。西班牙当局最终在喀麦隆沿岸的费尔南多·波岛上收容了2万多名非洲士兵和衣架。尽管盟军对西班牙施加了解散和遣返部队的压力，但他们仍然留在岛上，直到停战后。他们在很大程度上受到德国的控制，并在拘留期间接受了军事训练。1919年，喀麦隆士兵的延迟遣返对其家乡社区产生了显着影响。
