Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

No, Cameroon did not change its name after gaining independence. The country was originally called Kamerun, a German colony, before being divided between France and Britain at the end of World War I. In 1960, the French part gained independence and became the Republic of Cameroon, while the British part joined Nigeria. The two parts reunited in 1961 to form the Federal Republic of Cameroon, which was later renamed the United Republic of Cameroon in 1972 and finally the Republic of Cameroon in 1984.
