European and Christian beliefs were forced on local people. The Portuguese colonial rule in Angola had a significant impact on the culture of the country. The Portuguese sought to impose their language, religion, and social norms on the Angolan people. Indigenous traditions and customs were suppressed or banned, and European values were enforced through education and social institutions. This imposition of European culture led to the erosion of traditional Angolan customs and values. Additionally, the Portuguese introduction of Christianity had a lasting impact on the religious landscape of Angola, with many Angolans converting to Catholicism or other Christian denominations.
