Angola Traditional states
Kongo
-
Note: Although the Kongo kingdom
encompassed a large area in present-day Congo (Kinshasa),
it is recorded here because its capital city, Mbanza Kongo
(São Salvador), has always been in present-day Angola. The
record for the 18th and early 19th century is very obscure
and there are conflicting lists of rulers and dates up to
Pedro V.
