they traded slaves
the slave trade caused the collapse of relations between the kongo kingdom and portugal.
The capital of the Kingdom of Kongo (1390-1914) was M'banza-Kongo, which after the Portuguese colonization became known as São Salvador.Two countries that include part of the Kingdom are:The Democratic Republic of the Congo (aka the Congo) - capital Kinshasa.The Republic of the Congo - capital Brazzaville.
Portuguese culture influenced the Kongo Kingdom primarily through trade, religion, and political structures. The introduction of Christianity led to the establishment of churches and the conversion of many Kongo elites, which altered social dynamics and governance. Additionally, Portuguese trade practices introduced new goods and economic models that reshaped local economies. The interaction also facilitated the exchange of ideas, art, and language, leaving a lasting impact on Kongo society.
King Afonso I of Kongo

The Kongo Kingdom traded with Portugal, when King Afonso was in power and after.
São Salvador, in the country called Angola, was the capital of what was the Kongo Kingdom.
João I of Kongo, was ruler of the Kingdom of Kongo before King Afonso I of Kongo.
The capital city of the Kongo Kingdom was Mbanza-Kongo, also known as São Salvador. It was an important political, economic, and cultural center in Central Africa during the kingdom's peak.
The slave trade hurt relations between the Kongo kingdom and Portugal because Portugal kept asking for more and more slaves from the Kongo Kingdom, and that led to a large decrease in population for the Kongo Kingdom.
