Answer:
Explanation:
The Portuguese occupied Angola in the 1500s with Soyo and Luanda being the first settlements. Other settlements and forts were established later with their main trade being slaves who were sent to the New World in exchange for products from Europe. In addition to human slaves, diamonds and gold were also traded. The pressure for Portugal to let go of its colonies began in the 20th century. Despite their dictator’s hard stance, independence movements arose in Angola, Guinea Bissau, and Mozambique which led to the death of thousands in the 1960s and 1970s in what is known as the Portuguese Colonial War. The eventual release of these three nations from the clutches of the Portuguese did not happen until 1975 after the dictator, Antonio Salazar, was forcefully removed from power in 1974. After independence, there was a massive migration of people from these three nations to Portugal.
