Unification Day (French: Journée de l'unification) is a public holiday in Cameroon. It celebrates the anniversary of a plebiscite held on 1 October 1961 in British Cameroon, in which voters in the Southern Cameroons voted to unite with French Cameroon.[1] British Cameroon and French Cameroon had been mandate territories created from the division of Kamerun, a German colony forfeited to the Allies after Germany's defeat in World War I.[2]
