The Angolan Civil War was primarily fought between the MPLA (People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola) and the UNITA (National Union for the Total Independence of Angola). The MPLA, which received support from the Soviet Union and Cuba, sought to establish a socialist government, while UNITA, backed by the United States and apartheid South Africa, aimed for a more capitalist and anti-communist regime. The conflict lasted from 1975 until 2002, resulting in extensive devastation and loss of life.
