Beginning of Angola's fight for independence from Portuguese control.

The Angolan War of Independence initiated when several uprisings were launched by Angolan nationalist groups against Portuguese colonial rule. The conflict was fueled by decades of oppression and exploitation experienced by the Angolan people under Portuguese control. The event had a profound impact on both Angola and Portugal. It marked the beginning of a long and bloody struggle for Angolan independence, resulting in a devastating civil war that lasted for years. The war also had significant consequences for Portugal, as it was one of the triggers that led to the Carnation Revolution in 1974, which eventually led to the end of the Portuguese colonial empire. The Angolan War of Independence was characterized by fierce fighting, atrocities committed by both sides, and the involvement of neighboring countries and international powers. It ultimately paved the way for Angola to gain independence in 1975, albeit followed by a protracted and tumultuous period of instability and further conflicts. #AngolanWar #PortugueseColonialism #IndependenceStruggle
