Consequences of Colonisation on Indigenous society

The Portuguese introduced agricultural products grown in South America such as maize, sugar cane and to***co. Coffee plantations were introduced to Angola in the nineteenth century. Coffee is one of Angola’s major exports today.

The Portuguese introduced guns to the region which changed the nature of warfare and enabled their allies to dominate other kingdoms.

The Portuguese encouraged wars between rival kingdoms to maintain a constant supply of slaves. The result of this was that the region was constantly at war and millions of young people, mainly men, were forced to leave Africa and work as slaves in the Americas.

The Portuguese language is mainly spoken in urban areas of Angola today. However, the indigenous languages have survived among the rural population.

In modern Angola, about ninety per cent of the population is Christian, mainly Catholic, as a result of Portuguese missionary activity in the area. The remainder of the population follows traditional African religions.

As the demand for slaves increased in Brazil, the São Tomé traders found a better supply of slaves further south near Luanda and Benguela. Wars fought in this region provided a constant supply of slaves. In exchange for slaves, the Portuguese provided the Ndongo and Lunda kings with guns, cloth and other European luxuries. The guns enabled the kings to defeat their enemies and maintain a dominant position in the region.

In 1641, the Dutch seized the slave trade in Angola away from the Portuguese and they were able to control it until 1648 when the Portuguese took back control again. Angola only became a Portuguese colonial settlement after the decline of the slave trade in the nineteenth century.
