What policy did Portugal follow with its colony of Angola?

Answer
A
Portugal granted Angola its independence quickly.
B
Portugal fought a long war to try to hold on to Angola.
C

Explanation

Portugal resisted decolonization and fought a prolonged war in Angola to maintain control of the colony. The conflict lasted from 1961 until Portugal’s 1974 revolution led it to withdraw, and Angola became independent in 1975. So the correct choice is “Portugal fought a long war to try to hold on to Angola.”
