Question

This kingdom’s chibalo system was used by the Norwegian company Madal to force Lomwe workers to shell coconuts. Landowners in this kingdom called muzungos were often orphaned girls who employed chikunda to guard their matrilineal estates and trade with the Maravi Confederacy. Ruins built by this kingdom like Dambarare and Luanze were abandoned after its defeat by Changamire Dombo and the Rozvi Empire. This (-5[1])non-Swahili kingdom captured the gold-trading port (-5[1])of Sofala from Kilwa and built Fort Jesus in Mombasa, later besieged by Omanis who rivaled this kingdom for control of the Indian Ocean trade. Sailors for this kingdom used caravels to establish the (-5[1])Cape Route under the House of Aviz. For 10 points, name this European kingdom that colonized Mozambique. (10[1])■END■ (10[2])

ANSWER: Portugal [or Kingdom of Portugal or Reino de Portugal; accept Portuguese Empire or Império Português or Portuguese Overseas or Ultramar Português] (The estates in the second line are prazos; the orphaned girls are the Órfãs do Rei. Chibalo comes from the Tsonga xibalo system.)
