German campaign in Angola
Before the official declaration of war between Germany and Portugal (March 1916), German and Portuguese troops clashed several times on the border between German South-West Africa and Portuguese Angola. The Germans won most of these clashes and were able to occupy the Humbe region of southern Angola until Portuguese control was restored a few days before the British campaign out of South Africa defeated the Germans.
==Background==
From 1911 until July 1914, German and British Empires secretly negotiated about possible dismemberment of Portuguese Angola;.〔The Anglo-German Negotiations over the Portuguese Colonies in Africa, 1911-14, J. D. Vincent-Smith, The Historical Journal, Vol. 17, No. 3 (Sep., 1974), pp. 620-629. (JStor link )〕 In such a case most of the land would fall into the hands of the Germans. ''Angola-Bund'', founded in 1912, was the German organization promoting the takeover.
Even before World War I started (September 1914), the Portuguese government had sent reinforcements to the southern border of Angola. After the war broke out, the border between German South West Africa and Angola remained open. The Germans hoped they would be able to supply food and possibly even arms through it. However, the Portuguese colonial government was rather hostile and attempted to thwart all possible trade. A few German nationals in Angola were interned.
