DOCUMENTARY CARTOON How Portugal’s Empire Ended | The Colonial War That Broke an Empire (1961–1974)
Abstract
For nearly five centuries, Portugal ruled an empire that stretched across Africa, Asia, and the Atlantic. But by the 1960s, three brutal colonial wars—in Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea-Bissau—would shatter that legacy. This is the story of the soldiers who fought in the heat and dust of Africa, the rise of liberation movements, and the revolution in Lisbon that ended one of the world’s oldest empires.
