Abstract(s)
A primeira metade do século XIX caracteriza-se por um período marcante para Portugal, caracterizado por mudanças políticas, económicas e sociais. Com a independência do Brasil em 1822, a viragem para África foi crucial para o sustento da economia portuguesa, que se encontrava em declínio. Foi então criada, em meados da década de 1840, a Estação Naval de Angola.
A Estação Naval e os seus meios foram também fundamentais para Angola, auxiliando a manter a ordem pública e protegendo o território de rebeliões num dos períodos mais conturbados.
A Estação Naval foi absolutamente essencial, não só para Portugal relativamente ao combate ao tráfico de escravizados, exploração dos recursos naturais existentes em Angola e auxílio no território devido a rebeliões, mas também para Inglaterra, que com a criação das ligações a vapor necessitavam de pontos de apoio e abastecimento, algo que a Estação Naval podia oferecer.
Até 1895, a presença e administração no território africano era sobretudo feita pela Marinha, mas no mesmo ano o sistema colapsa e as campanhas de pacificação voltam-se para o interior. Em 1910 é entregue à administração de Angola a Estação Naval.

The Naval Station and its resources were also fundamental for Angola, assisting in maintaining public order and protecting the territory from rebellions during one of the most tumultuous periods. The Naval Station was absolutely essential, not only for Portugal in terms of combating the slave trade, exploiting Angola's natural resources, and providing assistance in the territory during rebellions, but also for England, which, with the creation of steam connections, needed support and supply points—something the naval station could offer. Until 1895, the presence and administration in the African territory were mainly conducted by the Navy. However, in the same year, the system collapsed, and pacification campaigns turned inland. In 1910, the Naval Station was handed over to the administration of Angola.
