The End of Portuguese Rule in Angola
Caption Description
In 1974, a dramatic change of regime in Portugal led to the end of more than a decade of fighting for independence in Portugal's African Territories, and with the fighting, came the end of more than 500 years of Portuguese colonial domination in Africa. The strength of the fighting forces of the liberation movements in the African territories was a major factor in the downfall of the Lisbon regime. Angola acceded to independence on 11 November 1975.
In the town of Sá da Bandeira in southern Angola, people gather to welcome the leader of the National Union for the Total Liberation of Angola, Dr. Jonas Savimbi. The flags of the three liberation movements seen here are, right to left, Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola, National Union for the Total Liberation of the Liberation of Angola, and National Front for the Liberation of Angola. [July 1975]
