A desmobilização dos combatentes africanos das Forças Armadas Portuguesas da Guerra Colonial (1961-1974)

Abstract

In the wars that marked the last years of the Portuguese colonial presence in Africa, Portugal recruited more than 400 000 Africans for his Army. This article presents the results of a research that seeks to know how the situation of these combatants was considered at the war’s end and how their countries of origin have welcomed them soon after their independence.
