Best Answer

Portugal's presence in Angola lasted almost 500 years. Portugal first established relations with the area in 1483. During the 16th century Portugal gained control through a series of treaties and wars. The Dutch briefly gained control from 1641 to 1648. On October 20, 1951 the area in question became the Overseas Province of Angola [Provincia Ultramarina de Angola]. On November 11, 1975, Angola gained independence and became known as 'A República de Angola' ['Republic of Angola'].
