As the communitiy development programmes grew, there was a large delay in educational efforts because British Cameroon ".had no secondary school in the territory.". The legal system established during the colonial era continues to be implemented, specifically, customary laws and the two legal systems. In British Cameroon, European immigrants were subject to the laws of their home country while natives of Cameroon were held to customary law which was typically overseen by British administrators. Despite the indirect rule used to invigorate the spirit of citizens, the British found that they had to "approach various developmental programs " because “there was little involvement of the local people in planning and executing community development programmes.”. This was important because it gave citizens of British Cameroon autonomy and helped to establish “a greater vitality of local political institutions in West Cameroon”. The British Cameroon used indirect rule because it meant that Cameroonians would comply willingly rather than having to coercively force compliance. Under colonial rule, Cameroon was ruled on the basis of indirect rule which allowed natives to execute judicial and executive decisions. The United Nations approved the Trusteeship Agreements for British Cameroons to be governed by Britain on 6 December 1946. The object of trusteeship was to prepare the lands for eventual independence. When the League of Nations ceased to exist in 1946, most of the mandate territories were reclassified as UN trust territories, henceforth administered through the UN Trusteeship Council. The native population of 400,000 showed little interest in volunteering for the British forces only 3,500 men did so. In the 1930s, most of the white population consisted of Germans, who were interned in British camps starting in June 1940. Northern Cameroons consisted of two non-contiguous sections, divided by a point where the Nigerian and Cameroun borders met. The French mandate was known as Cameroun and the British territory was administered as two areas, Northern Cameroons and Southern Cameroons. League of Nations mandate ĭuring the First World War, it was occupied by British, French and Belgian troops, and a later League of Nations mandate to Great Britain and France by the League of Nations in 1922. Thus, the French gained a larger portion of Cameroon when the country was divided. The British were more concerned with other areas of Africa, specifically Nigeria. One of the regions would be French administered (French Cameroon) and the other would be British administered (British Cameroon). During World War I, French and British troops invaded the German colony Kamerun (Present day Cameroon) and decided to divide the German colony into two regions. The German Empire named the territory Kamerun. I'd appreciate some fresh thoughts to kick me loose from this which I should buy loop.The area of present-day Cameroon was claimed by Germany as a protectorate during the " Scramble for Africa" at the end of the 19th century. I know that that all the options will have an image quality cost and am comfortable for that as a lot of my photos are for reference / tracking or identifying individual birds by their markings which the extra reach helps with. Then I wondered if a 1.4x extender onto my lens would be a better option but as it will have the RF adaptor on, i then worried about if that was a good idea and finally got myself into a position that I just don't know what to do and end up just going back and forth between options and getting no where, So I then wondered about the RF600 and then wondered if that might be a better option for extra reach and possible a better chance at keeping it on target. I then wondered about the RF800 and how well its going to work as with the 1.6x crop and if its actually going to be too far a reach to manage hand held, even with IS to keep the lens easily on target - not to mention environmental considerations like heat haze and pollution etc.

I've been a crop shooter for a number of years, using the 100-400mk2 on several bodies.Ĭurrently I shoot birds and wildlife, normally when the light is good, and having the extra reach on crop appeals a lot. I'm one of those who has been waiting what seems a long time for Canon to bring out a crop sensor in the R space, and with the R7 and R10 announced I got to think about the RF800 lens.
