End of "Guerra Colonial Portuguesa" | Admiral Leonel Cardoso Farewell Speech | Angola | Nov. 1975

November 10th 1975. Footage of Admiral Leonel Cardoso, the last Portuguese High Commissioner, giving a farewell speech on the day before Angola, Portugal's first and last African colony, was granted independence. Cardoso was leaving while the three major nationalist groups continued to fight a civil war. “I regret that it is not possible for me to participate in any ceremony to mark this great hour of the Angolan people,” he said. The withdrawal came the year after the Carnation Revolution in which left-wing military officers overthrew the Estado Novo, the Second Portuguese Republic established by Antonio Salazar.
