West Africa - Map of the Portuguese colony, also called Angola, founded in 1575. The modern nation state of Angola came into existence after the Portuguese Empire colonised the various local people and created the colony of Angola. The colonial conquest of Angola by the Portuguese was a process which unfolded in various stages over almost 400 years. It began with the establishment of the colony of Luanda in 1575 and ended when, in September 1915, the last king of the Kwanayamo, King Mandume, was defeated by the Portuguese, thus establishing Angola`s contemporary borders.
