The Portuguese Campaigns of Pacification and Occupation (Campanhas de Pacificação e Ocupação in Portuguese) were a vast set of military operations, conducted in the last decades of the 19th century and in the first two decades of the 20th by the Portuguese Armed Forces in the African overseas provinces of the Portuguese Empire. These campaigns saw action at Chaimite, in Mozambique, where Joaquim Augusto Mouzinho de Albuquerque captured the Vatua king Gungunhana but also at Môngua, in Angola.
They resulted in the securing of vast territories in Africa for Portugal and the creation of modern-day Angola, Mozambique and Guinea-Bissau.
