Erroneous link
editUnder "Preparation for battle" the name Paulo Afonso contains a hyperlink. However if one clicks on it, it does not go to the man Paulo Afonso but to this: "Paulo Afonso is a city in Bahia, Brazil. It is located at around WikiMiniAtlas 9°24′39″S 38°14′8″W / 9.41083°S 38.23556°W / -9.41083; -38.23556Coordinates: 9°24′39″S 38°14′8″W / 9.41083°S 38.23556°W / -9.41083; -38.23556. It was founded in 1958." This error should be rectified. 196.2.126.173 (talk) 06:07, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
Motive?
editThis article, and other articles linking to and mentioning this war between Portuguese Angola and Kongo seem to leave out any supposed motive of the Portuguese, mankind generally imagines his cause is just, even if the Portuguese were establishing a colony, what is their motivation for hiring cannibal bandits to help them in attacking Kongo? - If it was greed, I doubt it was greed alone, some fault, slight or injustice, whether perceived or actual seems more likely, someone should get around to researching then writing this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LikkerdySplit (talk • contribs) 16:28, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
