=== Revolution ===<br />
In 1962 the [[Front for the Liberation of Mozambique]] (FRELIMO) was founded in Dar es Salaam, and in 1964 it launched an armed struggle to liberate Mozambique from [[Portuguese Republic|Portuguese]] colonial rule. This struggle saw great success and was a contributing factor, along with the simultaneous liberation struggles in Portugal's other colonies of [[Republic of Angola|Angola]] and [[Republic of Guinea-Bissau|Guinea-Bissau]], to the April 1974 [[Carnation Revolution]] in Portugal. After some more fighting and a 10 month transitional government, Mozambique became independent on June 25 1975 under FRELIMO leadership.<ref>{{Citation|author=John S.
