The US Army War College had a course on how Portugal won the fight against the terrorists. The Portuguese kicked ass until the Communists back home decided to pull the rug out from under Salazar.
Thanks Spring - never mind what RED dimwits may tell you about Portugal. At present we are under EU dictatorship, control and censorship, so it's not easy to cope,
The communists tried to have a revolution in '76, the so called "Verão Quente" or "Hot Summer". We almost had a civil war, but General Spínola put a stop to that I believe and we had free elections for the first time in 60 or so years, won by Mario Soares of the Socialist Party(PS), although Socialist in Portugal is center left while the Social Democrats(PSD) are center right. The closest the communists came to power was through a coalition with PS 5 or so years ago and it wasn't even the communist party(PCP), it was the left block(bloco de esquerda(BE)) which are more moderate and a few other left wing parties like PAN and the greens.
@@nunomesquita Reminder : the ''RED hot summer'' was in 1975. Spínola by that time had fled the country - he was ''blessing'' the underground nationalistic resistance ''in disguise'', so he had to split. How do I know? I was 12 in 75 and living here, so I clearly remember everything. DO YOU really believe the pseudo-trotskyst ultra-feminist ''block' are ideologically ''MORE MODERATE'' than the PCP reds ( and pcp here means something different, ahahah...) ? I still haven't seen any male PCP-MP dressed in drag... '
@@karllux-d6g You are correct, I was born in the late 80's. I said they are more moderate because they're not very unified, there are many factions within the party, some more moderate than others. The communists are more old school I believe, they've had the same leader for years, the left block are more modern. The first time I voted, in the 2000's, I actually voted for them, but the party leader was Louçã, I've never voted for them since. I think the mp in a dress was from LIVRE not BE. Either way it was CRINGE!
For you Americans, everything on the left of the political spectrum is "communist"... 😆 You could be of a leftist inclination and not be a communist...

@@patriotatuga5757 actually this is controversial...one varient of HIV seems to have spread out from former Portuguese colonies.

The counter evidence is that why Portugal experienced the highest incidence of HIV/AIDS in Western Europe the common varient was that from former Beligum colonies and the dominate strain in Western Europe. The issue may have been inadequate public health systems. And no "rape" was generally not a factor. The main issue was transient male work force and sex workers.

Fala-se muito em colonialismo, colónias e descolonização. Mas esquecem-se de dizer que esse termo só começou a ser usado depois da segunda grande guerra em contexto de guerra fria, de forma a criar na mente das pessoas a figura do colonizador e do colonizado, a expressão plena do ditado "dividir para reinar". Portugal nunca apelidou esses territórios de colónias, mas sim províncias ultramarinas, uma nação para além dos oceanos. Ou vocês acham que quando lá chegamos já haviam angolanos ou moçambicanos? Haviam tribos, umas maiores outras menores, as quais os portugueses pacificaram sobre o nome de províncias ultramarinas. E mais, os portugueses levavam esses territórios tão a sério que até havia um projeto para mudar a capital para Luanda. No fundo todos perdemos, portugueses, angolanos e moçambicanos. Quem ganhou foram a URSS e USA mais os seus crápulas travestidos de independentistas e libertadores dos povos. Hoje em dia ainda se pode ouvir dos africanos mais velhos "a falta que os portugueses fazem". E por aqui me fico. Não leiam apenas livros escolares de influência socialista.
Atenção aos erros de português!Não "haviam" mas sim "havia"!!! haviam angolanos ou moçambicanos? Haviam tribos --> havia angolanos ou moçambicanos? Havia tribos

South Africa and Rhodesia were the most powerful countries in the region. However, the Portuguese colonies of Angola and Mozambique deserve to be more well known. The former had a white population of 280,000 in 1970 -a larger European population than Rhodesia-whereas Mozambique’s white population in 1970 numbered 163,000. (The figures are taken from Claudia Castelo's book, Passagens para Africa). Most Rhodesians never went to Angola but Mozambique was a popular holiday destination and the majority of Rhodesians who spent time there did so at Beira, the country’s second most important city. However, it was well worth heading down to the capital Lourenco Marques (which incidentally attracted many South African holidaymakers), and was one of the finest cities in Africa. Here’s footage of LM in 1970. ruclips.net/video/xqyWMVc9Gus/видео.html
When the conflict started in Angola the helmet was part of the portuguese soldiers equipment, but after the first operations it was soon understood that it was not apropriate for the conditions of the war. 1) The helmet was to heavy and bulky; 2) When used for several hours under the sun it was unbearable; 3) Soldiers were not always in combat operations, but had to be alert at all times since it was a guerrilla war. In this circunstances the kiko cap was much more confortable and suitable for day by day use; 4) During operations the helmet had little practical benefits, since the use of artillery by the guerrilla has low or nonexistent in most of the times; Of course the helmet was still used during the rest of the war, but just in specific situations. For example, during enemy attacks on portuguese possitions/barracks, where heavy artillary was used, some troops would use the helmets, if they had the time and the oportunity to do soo.

The Americans supported the communists in Portugal, just to keep Angola's oil. Interestingly, the person responsible for US foreign policy, who had always been opposed to the participation of communists in European governments, being even this its main concern since practically the beginning of the process. policy initiated by the military coup of April 25, 1974, now accepted for this to happen in Portugal, claiming that Portuguese methods had had success and could not "argue with success". (One commentator quipped that never before in history had it been so easy to get billions, expel more than two million people at once and still charge interest). On the very day of the meeting of the PPD leader with Henry Kissinger (Jew), Helmut Sonnenfeldt drafted a memorandum to the Secretary of State to prepare dialogue with the Portuguese politician. In the document, the Counselor of the Department ofThe State rightly underlined the fact that Sá Carneiro complained that "economic aid of the US was being treated in a way that favored the Socialists in the elections" and commented in this regard: «he has some reason as the original announcement was made how much Soares was here and the finance minister, who will be coming to Washington soon, is also a socialist»; for Sonnenfeldt this issue should be taken seriously by the US government because Sá Carneiro was «an extremely ambitious man» and he could 'become Prime Minister. (*Dangerous because it could make the process of appropriation of Angolan oil by North American and European companies unfeasible). The New Colonizers of Angola Oil Companies Present Today in Angola: ▪ Chevron - American ▪ Esso - American ▪ Vaalco - American ▪ Cobalt - American ▪ ConocoPhilips - American ▪ Total - French ▪ BP - British ▪ ENI- Italian ▪ Repsol - Spanish ▪ Pluspetrol - Argentinean ▪ Statoil - Norwegian ▪ Maersk - Danish ▪ Sonangol P&P Angolan (state oil company) Following the work of this joint economic commission, as well as the diplomatic efforts undertaken mainly by Mário Soares, on 16 March the US government made public the decision to grant a loan of 240 million of dollars to Portugal. Not by chance, the announcement was made shortly after the meeting between Salgado Zenha and Henry Kissinger in Washington through a press release released by the Department of State where it was stated that the assistance was to support the country's economic recovery in the continuation of its progress towards democracy and included a $35 million subsidy for "help" the reintegration of Portuguese from Africa (to be expelled more quickly). PS. if any Angolan woman has access to oil management, they should be immediately stopped through the traditional coup of "international media propaganda accusing someone who is a national of the left of being corrupt and if he is of the right, he will be accused of dictator", after all, only foreigners can corrupt and still appear honest and even ecological friendliness, even when they are the ones who destroy this world the most.

The US Army War College had a course on how Portugal won the fight against the terrorists. The Portuguese kicked ass until the Communists back home decided to pull the rug out from under Salazar.
Thanks Spring - never mind what RED dimwits may tell you about Portugal. At present we are under EU dictatorship, control and censorship, so it's not easy to cope,
The communists tried to have a revolution in '76, the so called "Verão Quente" or "Hot Summer". We almost had a civil war, but General Spínola put a stop to that I believe and we had free elections for the first time in 60 or so years, won by Mario Soares of the Socialist Party(PS), although Socialist in Portugal is center left while the Social Democrats(PSD) are center right. The closest the communists came to power was through a coalition with PS 5 or so years ago and it wasn't even the communist party(PCP), it was the left block(bloco de esquerda(BE)) which are more moderate and a few other left wing parties like PAN and the greens.
@@nunomesquita Reminder : the ''RED hot summer'' was in 1975. Spínola by that time had fled the country - he was ''blessing'' the underground nationalistic resistance ''in disguise'', so he had to split. How do I know? I was 12 in 75 and living here, so I clearly remember everything. DO YOU really believe the pseudo-trotskyst ultra-feminist ''block' are ideologically ''MORE MODERATE'' than the PCP reds ( and pcp here means something different, ahahah...) ? I still haven't seen any male PCP-MP dressed in drag...
'
@@karllux-d6g You are correct, I was born in the late 80's. I said they are more moderate because they're not very unified, there are many factions within the party, some more moderate than others. The communists are more old school I believe, they've had the same leader for years, the left block are more modern. The first time I voted, in the 2000's, I actually voted for them, but the party leader was Louçã, I've never voted for them since. I think the mp in a dress was from LIVRE not BE. Either way it was CRINGE!
For you Americans, everything on the left of the political spectrum is "communist"... 😆
You could be of a leftist inclination and not be a communist...

@@patriotatuga5757 actually this is controversial...one varient of HIV seems to have spread out from former Portuguese colonies. The likely vector was trade, migration and troop movement between Portuguese African colonies. The counter evidence is that why Portugal experienced the highest incidence of HIV/AIDS in Western Europe the common varient was that from former Beligum colonies and the dominate strain in Western Europe. The issue may have been inadequate public health systems. And no "rape" was generally not a factor. The main issue was transient male work force and sex workers.

I'm half-Portuguese and was eleven in 1974. All my male relatives were conscripted before the revolution. None of them enjoyed the experience. Lots of armchair generals thought it was marvellous but all I saw for years later was heavy drinking and a total unwillingness, as somebody rightly says below, to even want to talk about it. Portugal spent half its GDP on this complete waste of time. And I recall seeing ex-soldiers on the streets begging with limbs missing or blinded.
no just no.....Portugal spent 22% of his anual budget with the war. Defend the country its not a waste of time
i never saw a ex soldiers in the streets beging for money....
@@br3menPT They were not defending the country - they were in somebody else's country. Britain, France, Belgium, Netherlands, etc had granted independence on their former colonies.

@SEM NEXO You're right, but then come to think of what Sekou Touré did to his own countrymen afterwards....ever heard of Bouaro near Conakry? Another question coming to mind: with all the corrupt politicians in Africa filling their pockets with money of the world bank Africans are way worse off then under colonial rule. Only the name of the dictatorship has changed, the unequality has only been increased. 2 African leaders stand out for their leadership to me: Ian Smith and Thomas Sankara.

A guerra é muito triste
Fala-se muito em colonialismo, colónias e descolonização. Mas esquecem-se de dizer que esse termo só começou a ser usado depois da segunda grande guerra em contexto de guerra fria, de forma a criar na mente das pessoas a figura do colonizador e do colonizado, a expressão plena do ditado "dividir para reinar". Portugal nunca apelidou esses territórios de colónias, mas sim províncias ultramarinas, uma nação para além dos oceanos. Ou vocês acham que quando lá chegamos já haviam angolanos ou moçambicanos? Haviam tribos, umas maiores outras menores, as quais os portugueses pacificaram sobre o nome de províncias ultramarinas. E mais, os portugueses levavam esses territórios tão a sério que até havia um projeto para mudar a capital para Luanda. No fundo todos perdemos, portugueses, angolanos e moçambicanos. Quem ganhou foram a URSS e USA mais os seus crápulas travestidos de independentistas e libertadores dos povos. Hoje em dia ainda se pode ouvir dos africanos mais velhos "a falta que os portugueses fazem". E por aqui me fico. Não leiam apenas livros escolares de influência socialista.
Atenção aos erros de português!Não "haviam" mas sim "havia"!!! haviam angolanos ou moçambicanos? Haviam tribos --> havia angolanos ou moçambicanos? Havia tribos
😂😂😂
Não podia dizer melhor
quem diz que a guerra foi errada veja agora no que se tornaram Angola e Moçambique sem nós, quanta gente vive na miséria extrema, para que uns vivam bem. sim, trouxe muita angústia na altura, mas não abandonámos os nossos irmãos aos terroristas. honrámos os interesses de todos os que eram portugueses. foram os de abril que quiseram deixá-los nas mãos de uns quantos que se proclamavam libertadores. grande liberdade há lá agora. enfim, que pena tenho eu de quem lá vive
@@renebakker4446 o estado novo lutou por alfabetizar a população portuguesa, em 1940 celebrando a maioria da população já ser alfabetizada; em qualquer terra a que vá, encontra uma escola primária construída pelo estado novo, muitas vezes já abandonada; o estado novo apostou no ensino superior público também, com a construção de novos polos nas universidades de coimbra e de lisboa, com a inauguração das universidades do minho, de aveiro e de évora; iniciou projetos de obras públicas por todo o país, incluindo nas províncias, como a construção do hospital de santa maria em lisboa, o programa de colonização do interior, a modernização de luanda e de lourenço marques, etc.
o senhor devia tirar as palas dos olhos em relação ao estado novo, sim era um regime mais repressivo, mas fez muito de bom ao país, que era de facto atrasadíssimo em relação à Europa, por culpa da monarquia e das incompetentes duas primeiras repúblicas. muito do que tem agora deve-se ao estado novo, que, em 40 anos, conseguiu retirar Portugal da extrema miséria e praticamente iniciar a sua industrialização, passando o escudo a ser uma moeda valiosa, com reservas de ouro que o garantissem; se Portugal era atrasado, não era por culpa do estado novo, que pugnou pela emancipação social da pobreza e da ignorância.
o senhor é desconhecedor da história, tanto mais porque se recusa reconhecer o que teve de bom o regime e começa por logo desacreditar os feitos de centenas de milhares de portugueses durante cerca de 40 anos do século passado, incluindo aqueles dos que lutaram mais de uma de dezena de anos pela manutenção da nação contra um grupo restrito armado, que não representava a população em geral do território africano.

South Africa and Rhodesia were the most powerful countries in the region. However, the Portuguese colonies of Angola and Mozambique deserve to be more well known. The former had a white population of 280,000 in 1970 -a larger European population than Rhodesia-whereas Mozambique’s white population in 1970 numbered 163,000. (The figures are taken from Claudia Castelo's book, Passagens para Africa). Most Rhodesians never went to Angola but Mozambique was a popular holiday destination and the majority of Rhodesians who spent time there did so at Beira, the country’s second most important city. However, it was well worth heading down to the capital Lourenco Marques (which incidentally attracted many South African holidaymakers), and was one of the finest cities in Africa. Here’s footage of LM in 1970. ruclips.net/video/xqyWMVc9Gus/видео.html
they were not colonies....but oversea provinces
It must have felt fighting in a wonderful landscape.
Interesting that in the beginning of the conflict you see soldiers wearing helmets but not later on- any idea why?
When the conflict started in Angola the helmet was part of the portuguese soldiers equipment, but after the first operations it was soon understood that it was not apropriate for the conditions of the war.
1) The helmet was to heavy and bulky;
2) When used for several hours under the sun it was unbearable;
3) Soldiers were not always in combat operations, but had to be alert at all times since it was a guerrilla war. In this circunstances the kiko cap was much more confortable and suitable for day by day use;
4) During operations the helmet had little practical benefits, since the use of artillery by the guerrilla has low or nonexistent in most of the times;
Of course the helmet was still used during the rest of the war, but just in specific situations. For example, during enemy attacks on portuguese possitions/barracks, where heavy artillary was used, some troops would use the helmets, if they had the time and the oportunity to do soo.
@@Tiago-sf3wg Eu fui alferes miliciano em Angola (1965-1967) numa bataria de Artilharia Obús 7.5cm e propus ao capitão da bataria que numa operação que fizemos no Rio Dange perto da Fazenda Maria Manuela que levássemos capacete e toda a gente achou que não valia a pena pois o capacete era pesado, quente etc. Nessa operação feita em conjunto com os Fuzileiros e mais duas companhias de infantaria tivemos uma baixa.

The warfare tatics search and destroy , used in Vietnamese too, quite similar
Effective but useless if not supported by military occupation.
The Americans supported the communists in Portugal, just to keep Angola's oil. Interestingly, the person responsible for US foreign policy, who had always been opposed to the participation of communists in European governments, being even this its main concern since practically the beginning of the process.
policy initiated by the military coup of April 25, 1974, now accepted for this to happen in Portugal, claiming that Portuguese methods had had success and could not "argue with success". (One commentator quipped that never before in history had it been so easy to get billions, expel more than two million people at once and still charge interest).
On the very day of the meeting of the PPD leader with Henry Kissinger (Jew), Helmut Sonnenfeldt drafted a memorandum to the Secretary of State to prepare dialogue with the Portuguese politician. In the document, the Counselor of the Department ofThe State rightly underlined the fact that Sá Carneiro complained that "economic aid
of the US was being treated in a way that favored the Socialists in the elections" and
commented in this regard: «he has some reason as the original announcement was made
how much Soares was here and the finance minister, who will be coming to Washington soon, is
also a socialist»; for Sonnenfeldt this issue should be taken seriously by the
US government because Sá Carneiro was «an extremely ambitious man» and
he could 'become Prime Minister. (*Dangerous because it could make the process of appropriation of Angolan oil by North American and European companies unfeasible).
The New Colonizers of Angola
Oil Companies Present Today in Angola:
▪ Chevron - American
▪ Esso - American
▪ Vaalco - American
▪ Cobalt - American
▪ ConocoPhilips - American
▪ Total - French
▪ BP - British
▪ ENI- Italian
▪ Repsol - Spanish
▪ Pluspetrol - Argentinean
▪ Statoil - Norwegian
▪ Maersk - Danish
▪ Sonangol P&P Angolan (state oil company)
Following the work of this joint economic commission, as well as the
diplomatic efforts undertaken mainly by Mário Soares, on 16 March the
US government made public the decision to grant a loan of 240 million
of dollars to Portugal. Not by chance, the announcement was made shortly after the meeting between
Salgado Zenha and Henry Kissinger in Washington through a press release
released by the Department of State where it was stated that the assistance was
to support the country's economic recovery in the continuation of its progress towards
democracy and included a $35 million subsidy for
"help" the reintegration of Portuguese from Africa (to be expelled more quickly).
PS. if any Angolan woman has access to oil management, they should be immediately stopped through the traditional coup of "international media propaganda accusing someone who is a national of the left of being corrupt and if he is of the right, he will be accused of dictator", after all, only foreigners can corrupt and still appear honest and even ecological friendliness, even when they are the ones who destroy this world the most. JUST FOLLOW THE MONEY!
