1975- 2002
The war in Angola in 1975, specifically the Angolan Civil War, involved significant superpower influence, particularly from the United States and the Soviet Union. The U.S. supported the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA) and its leader, Jonas Savimbi, while the Soviet Union backed the People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA). This conflict was part of the broader Cold War context, where both superpowers sought to expand their influence in Africa by supporting opposing factions. The war ultimately contributed to a prolonged and devastating conflict in Angola.
Angola was a neutral country during World War II, as it was a Portuguese colony at the time. Portugal maintained a policy of neutrality throughout the war, which meant that Angola did not formally align with either the Axis or Allied powers. However, the strategic location of Angola and its resources were of interest to both sides. Despite its neutrality, the war did impact the region economically and politically.
