The Mozambican War of Independence was an armed conflict between the guerrilla forces of the Mozambique Liberation Front or FRELIMO (Frente de Libertação de Moçambique), and Portugal. The war officially started on September 25, 1964, and ended with a ceasefire on September 8, 1974, resulting in a negotiated independence in 1975.
Portugal's wars against guerrilla fighters seeking independence in its 400-year-old African territories began in 1961 with Angola. In Mozambique, the conflict erupted in 1964 as a result of unrest and frustration amongst many indigenous Mozambican populations, who saw foreign rule as exploitation and mistreatment, which served only to further Portuguese economic interests in the region. Many Mozambicans also resented Portugal's policies towards indigenous people, which resulted in discrimination, traditional lifestyle turning difficult for many Africans, and limited access to Portuguese-style education and skilled employment.
As successful self-determination movements spread throughout Africa after World War II, many Mozambicans became progressively more nationalistic in outlook, and increasingly frustrated by the nation's continued subservience to foreign rule. For the other side, many enculturated indigenous Africans who were fully integrated into the social organization of Portuguese Mozambique, in particular those from urban centres, reacted to claims of independence with a mixture of discomfort and suspicion. The ethnic Portuguese of the territory, which included most of the ruling authorities, responded with increased military presence and fast-paced development projects.
A mass exile of Mozambique's political intelligentsia to neighbouring countries provided havens from which radical Mozambicans could plan actions and foment political unrest in their homeland. The formation of the Mozambican guerrilla organisation FRELIMO and the support of the Soviet Union, Romania, China, Cuba, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Tanzania, Zambia, Egypt, Algeria, Gaddafi regime in Libya and Brazil through arms and advisers, led to the outbreak of violence that was to last over a decade.
From a military standpoint, the Portuguese regular army held the upper hand during the conflict against FRELIMO guerrilla forces. Nonetheless, Mozambique succeeded in achieving independence on June 25, 1975, after a civil resistance movement known as the Carnation Revolution backed by portions of the military in Portugal overthrew the Salazar regime, thus ending 470 years of Portuguese colonial rule in the East African region. According to historians of the Revolution, the military coup in Portugal was in part fuelled by protests concerning the conduct of Portuguese troops in their treatment of some of the indigenous Mozambican populace. The growing communist influence within the group of Portuguese insurgents who led the military coup and the pressure of the international community in relation to the Portuguese Colonial War were the primary causes of the outcome.

A legal tangle
A dying Roman, knowing his wife was pregnant, left a will saying that if she had a son, he would inherit two-thirds of the estate and the widow one-third, but if she had a daughter, the daughter would get one-third and the widow two-thirds.
Soon after his death the widow had twins - a boy and a girl. This is a possibility the will maker had not foreseen. What division of the estate keeps as close as possible to the terms of the will?
Like usual have fun :soviet-heart: and remember to dm @Wmill the answer. Also this might just be the weekend problem, will provide answer on monday.

I have explicitly said I would never mod a comm for the site.
Gravy still has influence in modding scene and is still a frequent poster on this site which should be questioned. Stop defending them Jesus Christ lmao
You’ve been banned a half a million times for being a toxic shithead. If anyone demonstrably needs to be removed it’s you
I actually asked to be banned and again I’m banned for mostly gravy stuff and other dumb bullshit
:who-must-go:
You got any proof for that obvious bullshit? Didn't think so. In fact now I think you're a :fedposting: even more. Fuck you.
Who cares?
No seriously I want to know, because I respect the hell out of @Grownbravy: I don't respect you at all. Fuck right off outta here.
I'll have you know that they've been highly supportive of me and really helped me with my own issues in the past. And you come in and call them such words? You sit there while a better person than you is such a pillar of the community, and you seek to tear them down?
Fuck off you scummy sack of shit.

That's fucking no evidence at all; still no verifiable proof and you've not been nice at all about anything. Post :post-hog: or log off for good.
And honesty? I wouldn't believe much of what you did provide anyway.
Regardless your experiences aren’t worth anymore than Maurice’s here. All we have here is word against word. Until bravy does something objectionable here that the mods need to sort out you’re just harassing them.
A dog pile because I called a person a pervert for playing a pervert game.
Grow up fellas
All I’m saying is it’s not your one call on this, if bravy is bad as you say they’ll give the mods a reason to be dealt with eventually, otherwise you’re just being an asshole.
A dogpile by two people? That's nothing. Why don't you just leave before more people dunk on a wrecker like you.
