Description

In this episode the Kingdom of the Kongo welcomes the Portuguese Empire, and the nobility embraces a new Religion. But it also meets the Dutch, the Vatican and continues to fight for it's place in Africa, whilst keeping the Kingdom together. Soon the Europeans settle, with an agenda much evolved from spreading Christianity....This results in alliances, betrayals and an international battle in 17th century Central Africa. As an international player the Kingdom of the Kongo has much to fight for.
