Resumo: | Defining and implementing borderlines in southern Mozambique was not a homogeneous process. Although resulting from the need to specify the different spheres of European influence in the region and ensure the effective occupation of the areas historically attributed to Europeans, each border section was discussed separately and had its own process, which cannot be considered as automatically resulting from the Berlin Conference (1885). Using the documents produced by the Commission of Borders Delimitation involved in the border definition between the former district of Lourenço Marques and the Maputaland (AmaThongaland), this article discusses how this process was implemented and its resulting impacts, particularly the division of the AmaThonga territories, in 1887, as this decision meant that the territories north of the river Maputo stayed under Portuguese sovereignty, while those south of the river would be, from then on, under British rule. |

Com efeito, embora tenha resultado da necessidade de especificar as diferentes esferas de influência Europeia na região e de garantir a ocupação efetiva das áreas historicamente atribuídas aos Europeus, cada troço de fronteira discutido teve um processo próprio, impossível de se afirmar como automaticamente decorrente da Conferência de Berlim (1885). Tendo como base a documentação produzida pela Comissão de Delimitação de Fronteiras diretamente envolvida no processo de definição da fronteira entre o antigo distrito de Lourenço Marques e a Maputolândia (Reino dos AmaThongas), pretende-se analisar tanto a forma como este processo foi implementado, como os impactos que dele resultaram, designadamente a divisão do Reino dos AmaThongas, em 1887, implicando que os territórios a norte do Rio Maputo ficassem sob soberania Portuguesa e os a sul deste rio, sob soberania Britânica.Cescontexto, UCRepositório da Universidade de LisboaRoque, Ana2020-04-15T08:19:31Z20182018-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10451/42838engRoque, A.

Defining and implementing borderlines in southern Mozambique was not a homogeneous process. Although resulting from the need to specify the different spheres of European influence in the region and ensure the effective occupation of the areas historically attributed to Europeans, each border section was discussed separately and had its own process, which cannot be considered as automatically resulting from the Berlin Conference (1885). Using the documents produced by the Commission of Borders Delimitation involved in the border definition between the former district of Lourenço Marques and the Maputaland (AmaThongaland), this article discusses how this process was implemented and its resulting impacts, particularly the division of the AmaThonga territories, in 1887, as this decision meant that the territories north of the river Maputo stayed under Portuguese sovereignty, while those south of the river would be, from then on, under British rule. |
