A História d’África Angola 1961 - O Início do Fim | Episódio 9 - HD

Angola, the jewel in the crown of the Portuguese colonial system and a mythical representation of future prosperity, would experience, between the end of 1960 and the first months of 1961, the revolt of the cotton farmers in Baixa do Cassange, the assault by Angolan nationalists on the prisons of Luanda, and the uprising in the north of the territory. This marked the beginning in Africa of what was for the Portuguese a 13-year colonial war and, for the Angolans and later for the other peoples of the colonies, the wars of national liberation. History by History Africa Angola 61 - The Beginning of the End A documentary series, authored and presented by Professor Fernando Rosas, about Portugal's relations with the African continent. Images and sounds from the colonial era in Africa are the premise for Professor Fernando Rosas to trace the history of the Portuguese empire, from the end of the 19th century until independence, leading him to investigate in the field the different dynamics and conflicts of that period. Our History is a series with an integrated and cross-cutting view of Portugal's relationship with the African continent, as never before told.
