1864 CE to 1875 CE

An expedition to link Angola on the Atlantic coast with Mozambique on the Indian Ocean coast is formed in the 1870s by an advisory commission to Portugal's Ministry of the Navy and Colonies.

The Portuguese government supports this expedition because it aspires to control a solid strip of territory across the central part of the continent.

Nonetheless, Portugal is unable to gain control of the hinterland.
