A Portuguesa
On 11 January 1890 the United Kingdom issued an ultimatum demanding that Portugal give up colonising the land between its colonies of Angola, on the west coast of Africa, and Mozambique, on the east, which would have joined them into one territory, as proposed on the Rose-coloured Map. Despite a popular uproar, the Portuguese government accepted the demands.
