Slavery in Angola existed since the late 15th century when Portugal established contacts with the peoples living in what is the Northwest of de present country, and founded several trade posts on the coast. A number of those peoples, like the Imbangala and the Mbundu, were active slave traders for centuries (see African slave trade). In the late 16th century, Kingdom of Portugal's explorers founded the fortified settlement of Luanda, and lateron minor trade posts and forts on the Kwanza River as well as on the Atlantic coast southwards until Benguela.
