  1. Primary Source Analysis Portuguese population 1961-2003, in thousands, (2005 Data from FAO) with emigration giving way to retornados,[2][3]ranging from 500,000 to 1 million after the revolution.

  2. Decolonization and its impact Mr. Cruz, AC Flora High School

  3. Means to Independence: Armed • Colonies seek independence by force • International support is needed for weapons • Usually lasted longer than negotiated independence • Long lasting issues

  4. Means to Independence: Armed • Angola • 1960’s: Soviet influenced Guerillas fight Portugal • 1974: Portuguese gov’t is overthrown by Portuguese citizens • 1975: New government grants independence to Portuguese imperial possessions

  5. Result: Redistribution of Resources • Retornados: • 300,000 Portuguese leave for Portugal after Independence • Gov’t desires to redistribute abandoned resources, but struggles to figure out: • Who? What? When? Where? How? • Leads to conflict • Angolan Civil War • Communist supported MPLA, eventual winner • USSR and Cuba send resources and troops • Aids the “Spread of Communism”

  6. Result: Transnational Movements • Communism • Pan-Arabism • Pan-Africanism • “African peoples both on the continent and in the Diaspora, share not merely a common history, but a common destiny”

  7. Pan-Africanism • Organization of African Unity / African Union • Achieve greater unity and solidarity between African countries and the peoples of Africa • Defend the sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence of its Member States

  8. Result: Population Resettlement

  9. Result: Population Resettlement (cont’d)

  10. Result: Population Resettlement • Redrawing of Colonial boundaries • Imposed boundaries • Ex: India/Pakistan • Religious-based Partition • Hindus persecuted in Pakistan • (20%-1945, 1%-2003) • Muslims persecuted in India • Forced migration

  11. Result: Colonial Subject Migration • Imperial powers view lax migration laws as a form of apology to former colonies • Algeria to France (After 1962) – Evian Accord • Seeking a “Better Life” • Maintain family ties • Fear of internal conflicts in Algeria • French Reaction is negative, but committed to Post-Colonial “Obligations”

  12. Result: Colonial Subject Migration • DO NOT WRITE THIS! • ZinedineZidane • French National Soccer Team Member • Parents were from AguemouneAthSlimane, Algeria 2006 World Cup Final
