| Summary: | In Angola, Republic inherited and developed the final phase of colonial projects of Monarchy. Paiva Couceiro and Norton de Matos, so distant in Portuguese politics, shared their vision of colonial governance. Republic completed military conquest and turned most of colony’s population into «indigenous» under a legal status of discrimination. But the new regime shook colonial society, from top to bottom, fighting some slavery practices and abuse in manpower recruitment and working conditions. The advent of the Republic also created expectations for social progress, political independence and racial equality, which soon gave way to frustration, protest and repression.
