Ever heard of her?<BR/>Mbande Nzinga<BR/><BR/>You scored 47% on ruling power!<BR/><BR/>Mbande Nzinga<BR/>You are: Mbande Nzinga, Angolan Queen, 1582-1663. Nzinga (or Jinga) was the colorful queen of the Ndongo and Matamba kingdoms. She is honored for her resistance against the Portuguese who were increasingly occupying all of what is now known as Angola. Constantly driven east by the Portuguese, Nzinga organized a powerful guerrilla army, conquered the Matamba, and developed alliances to control the slave routes. She even allied with the Dutch, who helped her stop the Portuguese advancement. After a series of decisive setbacks, Nzinga negotiated a peace treaty with the Portuguese, but still refused to pay tribute to the Portuguese king.Kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02356268290947233677noreply@blogger.com
