Overseas Combatants, Lisbon, Portugal - Non-Specific Veteran Memorials on Waymarking.com

The Portuguese Colonial War, Ultramar War ("Overseas War") or, among some guerrilla sympathizers, Guinea-Bissauan Revolution, was fought between Portugal's military and the emerging nationalist movements in Portugal's African colonies between 1961 and 1974. During the 1960s various armed independence movements became active in these areas, most notably in Angola, Mozambique, and Portuguese Guinea. An increasingly expensive military effort costing up to half its government's revenue forced Portugal to withdraw: it was unable to defeat the guerrillas, and the fighting ended in a high-priced stalemate.
