I found the map below online.

What if Portugal had divided Angola and kept the portion shown below? The population of those lands today is 3 million excluding Luanda but 9.5 million including Luanda. The city only had a population of 500,000 in 1975, however, so I imagine much of the growth was a product of internal migration by Angolans from elsewhere in the country.

Portugal has a population today of 10.5 million.

The lands shown below also include most of Angola's oil.

Could Portugal successfully integrate these lands as part of the idea of Lusotropicalism?
