-Before the colonial invasion, the Fula were the dominant [[Feudalism|feudal]] group and the Balantes lived in a [[Stateless society|stateless]] [[Primitive communism|communal society]]. The feudal groups were predominantly [[Islam|Muslim]] with the exception of the Manjaks. Chiefs served as the equivalent of feudal lords and exploited the [[peasantry]]. Artisans and traders (dyulas) existed between these two classes.<ref name=":0">{{Citation|author=[[Amilcar Cabral]]|year=1964|title=Brief Analysis of the Social Structure in Guinea|mia=https://www.marxists.org/subject/africa/cabral/1964/bassg.htm}}</ref>

-In 1956, [[Amilcar Cabral]] founded the [[African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde|African Party for Independence]], which advocated for independence of Guinea-Bissau and [[Republic of Cabo Verde|Cape Verde]] from Portugal. [[International and State Defense Police|PIDE]], the Portuguese secret police, attempted to crush the independence movement and killed Cabral in 1973. Later that year, Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde declared independence. The [[Armed Forces Movement]] led a rebellion of Portuguese troops against [[fascism]] and disobeyed orders to help the independence movement.<ref name=":1">{{News citation|author=Danny Shaw|newspaper=[[Liberation School]]|title=Amilcar Cabral and the national liberation movement of Guinea Bissau and Cape Verde|date=2011-01-26|url=https://www.liberationschool.org/amilcar-cabral-and-the-national-liberation-movement-of-guinea-bissau-and-cape-verde/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210711193152/https://www.liberationschool.org/amilcar-cabral-and-the-national-liberation-movement-of-guinea-bissau-and-cape-verde/|archive-date=2021-07-11|retrieved=2022-07-23}}</ref>
