Mozambique has a long history. As early as the 13th century, the prosperous Monomotapa Kingdom was established. At the beginning of the 16th century, Mozambique was invaded by Portuguese colonists. In the 18th century, Mozambique became the "protector nation" of Portugal and became the "overseas province" of Portugal in 1951. Since the 1960s, the Mozambican people have waged a tenacious struggle to get rid of colonial rule. On June 25, 1975, Mozambique declared its independence. After independence, the Mozambican resistance movement has been engaged in anti-government activities for a long time, which plunged Mozambique into a 16-year civil war. In November 1990, the country was renamed the Republic of Mozambique.
