Colonial history of Angola

The colonial history of Angola is usually considered to run from the appearance of the Portuguese under Diogo Cão in 1482 (Congo)^[1] or 1484 (Angolan coast)^[2] until the independence of Angola in November 1975. Settlement did not begin until Novais's establishment of São Paulo de Loanda (Luanda) in 1575, however, and the Portuguese government only formally incorporated Angola as a colony in 1655^{[citation needed]} or on May 12, 1886.^[3]^[4]
