Anglo-Portuguese Treaty of 1891
The Anglo-Portuguese Treaty of 1891, signed in Lisbon on 11 June 1891, fixed the borders between Portugal's colonies of Mozambique and Angola and the British spheres in central Africa. It followed the British Ultimatum of 1890, which had forced Portugal to abandon its claim to a belt of territory linking Angola and Mozambique. The treaty divided the Manyika highlands between Southern Rhodesia and Mozambique.
