root called cassava. Angola also has many natural resources, including diamonds, iron
ore, and petroleum. Luanda, the capital and largest city, is a major African seaport.

continued between the MPLA and the FNLA and UNITA, whose forces had united. The

Cuba. The Soviet Union sent both military advisers and equipment, and Cuba sent troops.
Soviet and Cuban leaders hoped Angola would become a Communist nation if the MPLA
won the war. The MPLA defeated its enemies in April 1976 and formed a Marxist
