Portuguese Colonial War: Angola 1961-74
Pre-War Historical Notes:
After the second world war, lots of african and asian european colonies claimed independence. From 1945 to 1960 lots of these colonies turned into independent countries.
Some governments however, denied this and guerrilla wars started all over Africa and Asia.
The cold war was rising tensions all over and soviets tried to have their power expanded, supporting lots of guerrillas.
Also in Cabinda, an Angola exclave separated from the main country by a small strip of Zaire and the Zaire river, rebel groups took arms to get the region's independence.
Even after the war it was not given independece to Cabinda, and it remained a province of Angola.
In 1960 Portugal was under a fascist regime, controling Angola, Mozambique, Guiné and three cities in India.
Rebel revolts are growing stronger, portuguese farmers attacked in the north and east and armed attacks in some core cities made the portuguese government take a stand.
"ANGOLA IS OURS! ANGOLA IS OURS!" cried thousands of men in the ships on their way to the african coast.
However, this was a long and devastating war. A small country as Portugal maintained 4 fronts of war thousands of miles away from the mainland!
Now it's with you to lead your people into victory, as Portugal you are to control the areas of guerrilla activity. As Guerrillas, you must fight to get your deserved independence!
