Angola - History
During the Middle Ages, Angola belonged to four kingdoms: Congo, Ndongo, Matamba, and Lunda. The Portuguese colonial fleet first arrived in Angola in 1482, invaded the Kingdom of Endongo in 1560, and established the city of Luanda in 1576. At the Berlin Conference from 1884 to 1885, Angola was designated as a Portuguese colony. In 1922, Portugal occupied the entire territory of Angola. In 1951, Portugal renamed An as the "Overseas Province" and sent a governor to rule. After the mid-1950s, the Angolan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM), the Angolan People's Liberation Front (SPLF), and the National Alliance for the Complete Independence of Angola (UNITA) were successively established. On February 4, 1961, the "An People's Movement" began armed struggle. On January 15, 1975, the three organizations mentioned above reached the Avol Agreement with the Portuguese government regarding the independence of Angola. On January 31st, the three Angolan organizations formed a transitional government with the Portuguese authorities. Shortly after, there was an armed conflict between the "People's Liberation Movement of the People's Republic of China", "Anti Liberation Front", and "UNITA", and the transitional government disintegrated in August. The Portuguese authorities announced on November 10, 1975 that they would "hand over power to the Angolan people". On November 11th, the "People's Movement of Angola" announced the establishment of the People's Republic of Angola, Angola
