Treaty of Simulambuco
The Treaty of Simulambuco was signed on 1 February 1885 between Portugal and the princes and chiefs of Cabinda, on the Atlantic coast north of the Congo River. It placed the area, once ruled by the kingdoms of Ngoyo and Kakongo, under Portuguese protection, securing Portugal's claim against France and King Leopold II. Cabinda became an exclave of Portuguese Angola, and modern Cabindan separatists still cite the treaty.
