Portugal colonized Angola primarily for economic reasons, including exploiting its resources such as gold, ivory, and later on, slaves. Additionally, Portugal sought to establish trade routes and expand its influence in Africa during the period of colonization. Angola was also seen as a strategic location for Portugal to control and secure its interests along the coast of West Africa.
