Angola was heavily affected economically during decolonization as it faced numerous challenges such as the withdrawal of Portuguese investment, the loss of access to Portuguese markets, and a decline in infrastructure. The country's economy was heavily dependent on Portugal for trade and investment, and the sudden withdrawal of these resources led to a significant economic downturn. Additionally, the lack of skilled local workforce and infrastructure left by the Portuguese further exacerbated the economic challenges faced by Angola. This resulted in high unemployment, inflation, and a decrease in living standards for the Angolan people during the decolonization process.
