History
-conquered by French Republic in France's Wars > Franco-Portuguese War (1871-2)
-following change of Batavian Republic's alliance and French Wars > Fourth French War (1880-4), Louanda becomes France's main base in south Africa
-telegraph line drawn from Laurent Marques to Louanda (Telegraphy > ^448530)

-German presence totally destroyed
-French Protestant missionaries also become active in region afterwards
-expands and occupies Ouambo and Ouimboundou lands as well
-however, France being occupied by other affairs means it's not exploiting colonial expansion a whole lot and mostly through decentral governance
-and virtually no settlement in this era
-Ouando made capital as part of expansion into interior with railroads to there
-independentist movement grows in 20th century
-led by mestiços and assimilados
-there are also Ouambo and Ouimboundou revolts
-this is why France is utterly unable to expand into Namib region beyond making it buffer zone
-following French Wars > Sixth French War (1937-41), this movement grows much bigger
-due to blood shed in war
-this war also unites mestiços, assimilados, Ouambo, and Ouimboundou in a joint struggle
-France concedes autonomy in 1942 in form of toothless legislature
-another concession in 1948 which is near-full independence
-and eventually concedes full independence in 1954
-national languages in Angola are French, Portuguese
