The Pink Map
The Pink Map (Portuguese: Mapa cor-de-rosa) was a document representing Portugal's claim of sovereignty over the land between Angola and Mozambique, in which today is currently Zambia, Zimbabwe and Malawi. The Pink Map collided with Sir Cecil Rhodes "Cape to Cairo" Red Line. The dispute with Great Britain over these territories led to the British Ultimatum, to which Portugal gave in, causing serious damages to the image of the Portuguese monarchic government, and subsequent rise of the Republican political movements.
