Germany had claimed Cameroon (Kamerun) in July 1884. [3] France and Germany established the rough delimitation of their respective spheres of influence in the region in December 1885, with a more precise boundary agreed upon in 1894. [3] [2] A further delimitation occurred on 18 April 1908, which produced the modern Cameroon-CAR border.
The border starts in the north at the tripoint with Chad in Lake Chad, proceeding through the lake via an NW-SE straight line down to the estuary of the Ebedi river.
