@RBongler@breakfastguy32@OurOwnNation angola was not voluntary, it was induced by the cost of the war
read portugal and the future by caetano
the war was too costly
the african side decisively won in guinea bissau
@HaeckelGroyper no, the orange raised and rely on auxiliary forces, who likewise originate from the green
and rwanda is fighting its own vietnam in the congo , rising casualties are leading to mobilizations (which is not a good sign) which is rwanda is relying more on the m23 movement

If you want to understand how unreliable & incompetent African militaries are; the tiny country in orange, which, unusually for an African country, has a relatively competent government, has successfully invaded & currently occupies parts of the green country.
@Ruddkr_@622daysofbunga@juggking898029 they were not fielding aks en-masse until the later stages of the war, they mostly used the same weapons as the portuguese
portugal did not control the vast majority of every african colony either, mozambique was split into there separate pieces
@Ruddkr_@622daysofbunga@juggking898029 the only people who benefitted from the economy rebounding was the state monopolies and elites
the carnation revolution was linked to the economy in every way
@Ruddkr_@622daysofbunga@juggking898029 nope
there were no macroeconomic gains despite the economy rebounding on paper
portuguese citizens continued to be directly affected by the wars economic costs
the portuguese state had to take out loans, the state had to engage in price controlling (which is a terrible idea)
@622daysofbunga@Ruddkr_@juggking898029 they were infact not on the path to victory in mozambique
the fighting was just beginning to intensify, frelimo crossed the zambezi river in 1972, frelimo held 33% of mozambique by 1974
@gardcns@RequiemZendo@mussy03_ what does the map show? but yes, they liberated the third of ethiopia that was taken, except that ethiopia made up much more than just that third
if this is the case then ukraine is considered occupied and colonized by russia
