Angolan Civil War

The  was a major civil conflict in the former portugese colony of Angola, by the Soviet supported communist guerillas, against the American-funded rebels of the FLEC,  UNITA,  Cabindaball and the  Apartheid south africa.

Causes:
Ideologically speaking, Angola's three independence movements were at odds after winning Angolan War of Independence. While the MPLA supported Marxist-Leninism and later changed to a social-democratic model, the rural FNLA and  UNITA were much more militant and right-wing, the first wanting to reestablish the  Congo Empireball and the second wanting more autonomy in a Federalist (capitalist nationalist) Republic among the  Angolan ethnicities, and so they soon started to fight for power.
