The Fulani, a primarily Muslim people now scattered throughout many parts of Africa, entered what is now northern Cameroon in the 18th century. The Fulani expansion reached its southernmost point with the conquest of Bamoun, a kingdom founded in the 17th century in the western grassland (now western Cameroon). The Fulani conquest was brief and did not result in Islamization, although this faith was accepted by a later ruler, Sultan Njoya, in the early 20th century.
