@Kurishev Tulipov for those who don't know, the natives, as you call them, under Portuguese law, were in fact Portuguese, with Portuguese identity cards and all the rights of any "European" Portuguese. Most of those "natives" fought for Portugal, for that very reason, because they were Portuguese and had to defend their country against mercenaries paid by the USA, Russia, China and Cuba (with troops on the ground) in the role of "liberation army" lol
@Kurishev Tulipov We had complete platoons,companies and some batallions of black soldiers,only some sargeants and officers were white..in 1973 in Angola,15000 men were black, out of 60000 troops in the territory.

The Portuguese Colonial War, also known as the Overseas War or the War of Liberation, was a conflict that took place between 1961 and 1974, primarily in Portugal's African colonies of Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea-Bissau. The war marked the final stage of decolonization in Africa and had significant political, social, and economic ramifications for Portugal and its colonies. 1. **Background**: The roots of the conflict can be traced back to Portugal's colonial expansion in the 15th century and its subsequent establishment of colonies in Africa. By the mid-20th century, nationalist movements began to emerge in the African colonies, advocating for independence from Portuguese rule. 2. **Causes**: The main causes of the war were the oppressive colonial policies of the Portuguese government, which denied basic rights and opportunities to the indigenous populations, and the desire for independence among the African peoples. 3. **Timeline**: - **1961**: The conflict officially began with the outbreak of violence in Angola, sparked by the assassination of anti-colonial leaders by Portuguese authorities. - **1963**: The conflict spread to Guinea-Bissau, where the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC) launched a guerrilla campaign against Portuguese forces. - **1964**: Conflict escalated in Mozambique, with the emergence of the Front for the Liberation of Mozambique (FRELIMO), led by Eduardo Mondlane. - **1974**: The Carnation Revolution in Portugal led to the overthrow of the authoritarian Estado Novo regime and the establishment of a democratic government. This event ultimately led to the end of the colonial war. 4. **Major Battles and Campaigns**: - **Angola**: Battle of Mufilo, Battle of Kitexe, Battle of Quifangondo. - **Guinea-Bissau**: Battle of Tite, Battle of Canjambari, Battle of Mansoa. - **Mozambique**: Battle of Chai, Battle of Marracuene, Battle of Zitundo. 5. **Tactics and Strategies**: - Portuguese forces primarily employed conventional military tactics, including the use of infantry, artillery, and air support. - Guerrilla warfare tactics were employed by nationalist movements, utilizing hit-and-run attacks, ambushes, and sabotage. 6. **Human Cost**: The war resulted in significant human suffering, with tens of thousands of combatants and civilians killed, wounded, or displaced. Additionally, many Portuguese soldiers were conscripted to fight in the conflict, leading to widespread public discontent and anti-war sentiment. 7. **International Involvement**: The conflict garnered international attention and support, with various countries providing assistance to both the Portuguese government and the nationalist movements. The Cold War context also influenced the dynamics of the conflict, with the United States supporting Portugal due to its anti-communist stance. 8. **End of the War**: The war came to an end with the signing of independence agreements between Portugal and the nationalist movements. Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea-Bissau gained independence in 1975, marking the end of Portuguese colonial rule in Africa. 9. **Legacy**: The Portuguese Colonial War had far-reaching consequences for Portugal, its former colonies, and the broader region of Africa. It left behind a legacy of social and economic instability, as well as political challenges in the newly independent nations. Additionally, the war contributed to Portugal's transition to democracy and its reorientation towards Europe following the end of its colonial empire.

It all started in 1961 with an attack from Congolese terrorists (Congo had recently become independent from Belgium) led by an Angolan dictator-to-be, Holden Roberto. This attack caused lots of destruction and cost the lives of many people (black and white) in Angola. That same year, on the other side of the Portuguese empire, Nehru's India also wreaked havoc by launching a surprise attack and annexing Goa. Catching onto Portugal's vulnerability, communists like Amílcar Cabral and Agostinho Neto, funded by China and the USSR (among others, like Cuba) started radicalising people from the overseas provinces and forming independence movements. Independentists, although better trained in guerilla warfare than Portuguese loyalists, were a minority and, inevitably, they lost the war everywhere except for Guinea-Bissau (where it was a stalemate). As a result, there was a communist coup d'état in Lisbon on 25 April 1974, after which all overseas provinces were given their independence and started being governed by the rebels.
@@davidallbaugh6858what you mean they lost? There was no front that was lost. Even at the lowest condition the Portuguese troops found themselves they were still doing their thing. They didn’t leave coz they lost. They left coz they got tired of being in the meat grinder and turned against the regime. That’s why if you check when those countries had their independence, it was all in the same year. They didn’t win against the Portuguese. They left.
Um referendo nos países africanos de expressão portuguesa se concordariam regressar à administração portuguesa como regiões autónomas, o sim venceria por 60 a 70%. Deveria ser um objectivo político de um governo sério português, convencer os líderes africanos a promover esse referendo, claro que os troskistas, socialistas e comunistas teriam que comer e calar, já basta de idiotas desde 1974.

The Portuguese Colonial War, also known as the Overseas War or the War of Liberation, was a conflict that took place between 1961 and 1974, primarily in Portugal's African colonies of Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea-Bissau. The war marked the final stage of decolonization in Africa and had significant political, social, and economic ramifications for Portugal and its colonies.
1. **Background**: The roots of the conflict can be traced back to Portugal's colonial expansion in the 15th century and its subsequent establishment of colonies in Africa. By the mid-20th century, nationalist movements began to emerge in the African colonies, advocating for independence from Portuguese rule.
2. **Causes**: The main causes of the war were the oppressive colonial policies of the Portuguese government, which denied basic rights and opportunities to the indigenous populations, and the desire for independence among the African peoples.
3. **Timeline**:
- **1961**: The conflict officially began with the outbreak of violence in Angola, sparked by the assassination of anti-colonial leaders by Portuguese authorities.
- **1963**: The conflict spread to Guinea-Bissau, where the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC) launched a guerrilla campaign against Portuguese forces.
- **1964**: Conflict escalated in Mozambique, with the emergence of the Front for the Liberation of Mozambique (FRELIMO), led by Eduardo Mondlane.
- **1974**: The Carnation Revolution in Portugal led to the overthrow of the authoritarian Estado Novo regime and the establishment of a democratic government. This event ultimately led to the end of the colonial war.
4. **Major Battles and Campaigns**:
- **Angola**: Battle of Mufilo, Battle of Kitexe, Battle of Quifangondo.
- **Guinea-Bissau**: Battle of Tite, Battle of Canjambari, Battle of Mansoa.
- **Mozambique**: Battle of Chai, Battle of Marracuene, Battle of Zitundo.
5. **Tactics and Strategies**:
- Portuguese forces primarily employed conventional military tactics, including the use of infantry, artillery, and air support.
- Guerrilla warfare tactics were employed by nationalist movements, utilizing hit-and-run attacks, ambushes, and sabotage.
6. **Human Cost**: The war resulted in significant human suffering, with tens of thousands of combatants and civilians killed, wounded, or displaced. Additionally, many Portuguese soldiers were conscripted to fight in the conflict, leading to widespread public discontent and anti-war sentiment.
7. **International Involvement**: The conflict garnered international attention and support, with various countries providing assistance to both the Portuguese government and the nationalist movements. The Cold War context also influenced the dynamics of the conflict, with the United States supporting Portugal due to its anti-communist stance.
8. **End of the War**: The war came to an end with the signing of independence agreements between Portugal and the nationalist movements. Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea-Bissau gained independence in 1975, marking the end of Portuguese colonial rule in Africa.
9. **Legacy**: The Portuguese Colonial War had far-reaching consequences for Portugal, its former colonies, and the broader region of Africa. It left behind a legacy of social and economic instability, as well as political challenges in the newly independent nations. Additionally, the war contributed to Portugal's transition to democracy and its reorientation towards Europe following the end of its colonial empire.

On the echoes of history
What started this war? Can anyone answer
It all started in 1961 with an attack from Congolese terrorists (Congo had recently become independent from Belgium) led by an Angolan dictator-to-be, Holden Roberto. This attack caused lots of destruction and cost the lives of many people (black and white) in Angola.
That same year, on the other side of the Portuguese empire, Nehru's India also wreaked havoc by launching a surprise attack and annexing Goa.
Catching onto Portugal's vulnerability, communists like Amílcar Cabral and Agostinho Neto, funded by China and the USSR (among others, like Cuba) started radicalising people from the overseas provinces and forming independence movements. Independentists, although better trained in guerilla warfare than Portuguese loyalists, were a minority and, inevitably, they lost the war everywhere except for Guinea-Bissau (where it was a stalemate).
As a result, there was a communist coup d'état in Lisbon on 25 April 1974, after which all overseas provinces were given their independence and started being governed by the rebels.

Rhodie, do you ever make videos about the winning side of wars or just the losing sides?
@offroadguy7772 No, are you?
The U.S. lost against Osama? Interesting, I didn't know Britain lost the Falklands war either.
The portuguese won
@@FrancisWallerston No, you fool, they lost.
@@davidallbaugh6858what you mean they lost? There was no front that was lost. Even at the lowest condition the Portuguese troops found themselves they were still doing their thing. They didn’t leave coz they lost. They left coz they got tired of being in the meat grinder and turned against the regime. That’s why if you check when those countries had their independence, it was all in the same year. They didn’t win against the Portuguese. They left.
Shame and they lost in Guinea and Mozambique, another loss for European colonisers. Copium is strong amongst the conquistadores, rhodies and boere.
The only situation that was not under control was Guinea Bissau
🇦🇴 👏 Yeah, they can cope as much as they want but Angola is free
@@ComasGhost Angola is under Chinese debt enslavement. You have much more resources than Portugal but can’t build a road. It’s genetic limitations.

Um referendo nos países africanos de expressão portuguesa se concordariam regressar à administração portuguesa como regiões autónomas, o sim venceria por 60 a 70%.
Deveria ser um objectivo político de um governo sério português, convencer os líderes africanos a promover esse referendo, claro que os troskistas, socialistas e comunistas teriam que comer e calar, já basta de idiotas desde 1974.
Portugal não governa nem a própria cozinha, mas quer governar o mundo inteiro.
