After the arrival of the Portuguese in the late 15th century, the Kingdom of Kongo underwent significant changes, particularly through increased trade and the introduction of Christianity. The Portuguese established a trade relationship that included the export of slaves, which altered the social and economic structures of the kingdom. Additionally, the influence of European culture and religion led to the conversion of many Kongolese to Christianity, impacting local traditions and governance. This interaction ultimately contributed to both the enrichment and destabilization of Kongo as it navigated the complexities of European colonial interests.
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.
The Kongo Kingdom traded with Portugal, when King Afonso was in power and after.
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.
Kingdom of Kongo was created in 1395.
The Kingdom of Kongo began to decline in the late 16th century due to internal power struggles, civil wars, and pressure from the slave trade. It officially fell in the late 19th century when it was absorbed into the colony of Portugal.
