I've often been told on these boards that much of Africa wasn't suitable for white settlement because of problems with climate and disease. However, the two major Portuguese colonies, Angola and Mozambique, had huge white settlement. These areas are both tropical, malarial and at low altitude, i.e. everything that's supposed to be bad for whites. How come such large scale settlement happened? As a secondary question, do these examples mean that settlement in other parts of Africa is more plausible than is commonly assumed?
