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.
Two happy soldiers, Portuguese and Angolan, one is heading home to relive his freedom and the other is staying home to regain his freedom. On the eve of independence the few remaining Portuguese soldiers left Angola.
