Scenarios about 'Angola'
Angola is a country in southwestern Africa with a complex history marked by Portuguese colonization, a prolonged independence struggle, and a devastating civil war from 1975 to 2002. Its strategic importance derives from abundant natural resources, particularly oil and diamonds, which fueled both conflict and development.
