Kongo — Not random

Conditions

Will happen within 60 days of January 1, 1526
Checked again every 60 days until trigger is met (cannot happen after January 1, 1544)

Description

The Kings of Kongo were prepared to wage war against rebellious provinces in order to acquire captives for sale, but they objected to the Portuguese dealing directly with the provinces, independent of royal control. The increased demand for slaves encouraged outlying governors to deal directly with Portuguese traders, leading to political and military conflicts. On 18th October 1526, Affonso complained to the Portuguese King. He claimed the slave trade was robbing the country of its best men. Afonso did not repudiate slavery on principle, but in 1526 he issued decrees to regulate and moderate it. There was also a smallpox epidemic in Kongo around this time.

Kongo — Not random

Conditions

  • Monarch Afonso I is active

Triggered by

Action A of 260166 - Kongo and Christianity for Portugal

Description

The Kongo political system provided for the open election of a successor from among the descendants of the first King. Upon his father's death, Afonso's non-Christian brother attempted to deny him the election, but Afonso defeated him in battle and took the throne. He attributed his victory to divine intervention Afonso entered into relations with King Manuel of Portugal to the profit of both countries. Manuel supplied missionaries and craftsmen to the Kongo and Afonso granted trade privileges to the Portuguese. In his domestic policy Afonso pursued a progressive course, building schools and roads and encouraging development. Afonso was a convert to Christianity under the influence of Portuguese missionaries, and his rule was pivotal in opening up Kongo to Portuguese influence. Afonso promoted Christianity diligently, destroying traditional religious symbols and building churches and schools, but the few missionaries he was sent proved to be lazy, corrupt, and venal. They took concubines and lived as nobility.
