The Cameroon War (also known as the Hidden War, or the Cameroonian War of Independence) was a conflict in Cameroon between 1955 and 1964, initially as an independence struggle against French colonial rule, led by the Cameroonian Peoples Union (UPC), and then, after Cameroonian independence in 1960, as a civil war between the Cameroonian government and UPC rebels. The conflict began with riots against French colonial rule in 1955 before becoming an insurgency.
