Upon taking office in 1907, Theodor Seitz, governor of Kamerun, advocated the acquisition of territories from the French Congo.

[3] Accordingly, Kamerun gained a connection to the Congo centered on the Sangha River and another to the Ubangi at the town of Zinga; a small strip of French territory lay enclosed by the two outlets.

[6] The exchange sparked debate in Germany; opponents argued that the new territories presented little opportunity for commercial exploitation or other profit.

After the war, France administered Cameroun as a League of Nations mandate which was distinct from French Equatorial Africa.

Neukamerun ceased to exist as the boundary was placed back at its pre-1911 line (except for the strip of land between the Logone and Chari rivers, which remained part of French Equatorial Africa).
