The conquest of Angola was ordered by Lisbon in 1571 and began in 1575.
But the Portuguese had to fight their longest and bloodiest war, before Angola was finally taken nearly half a century later.
They had not counted on being confronted with a Black Queen who would turn out to be one of the bravest generals that ever commanded an army.
They had not counted on the Queen of Ndongo, Queen Nzinga.'
