Portuguese attempts to invade Congo in 1670 and Matamba in 1681 having failed, the conquest of Pungo Andongo in 1671 had been the last great expansion of Anogla, its Portuguese colonists having been stopped in the 1670s at the borders of Matamba and Kasanje (southeast of Matamba).

Sometime between 1682 and 1684, the Portuguese establish a military post at Caconda in present-day west central Angola to tax and control the slave trade.
